The Arthur Ashe Foundation for the Defeat of AIDS was founded by Arthur Ashe to raise money for research into treating, curing and preventing AIDS, the end goal being the eradication of the disease. In 1995, the remaining foundation funds were matched by Weill Cornell Medical College to establish the Endowment at the Medical College. The Endowment provides the financial support to run the International Healthcare Worker HIV Training Program, the Arthur Ashe Professorship of Medicine, and the Arthur Ashe Endowment Lecture, as well as for clinical trials for patients receiving HIV/AIDS treatment and other programs.
The Arthur Ashe Endowment International Healthcare Worker Training Program

Each year the Training Program enables eight healthcare workers to come to New York for four weeks to receive specialized HIV/AIDS care training at the Weill Cornell Medical College. To qualify, the health practitioners must work in AIDS treatment and come from developing nations with substantial AIDS populations. Airfare and housing is provided for by the Arthur Ashe Endowment for the Defeat of AIDS (AAEDA), and during their time at Weill-Cornell, the fellows learn about treatments and alternative practices for treating the disease that are not available in their home countries. Since its inception, more than 98 healthcare workers have received training through the program.
