What charitable foundation did Elton John establish in 1992 to combat a specific disease? The answer is the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Elton John established the foundation in the United States in 1992 to support work addressing HIV and AIDS. A United Kingdom arm followed in 1993. The organization funds HIV prevention, education, treatment, care, and support for people living with or at risk of HIV.

John's commitment was shaped by personal loss. His friends Ryan White, an American teenager who acquired HIV through a blood transfusion, and Freddie Mercury, Queen's lead singer, both died of AIDS-related causes around the start of the 1990s. Their experiences strengthened John's determination to challenge stigma as well as the disease itself.

The foundation became especially visible through its annual Academy Awards viewing party, which began in 1993 and raises money through celebrity events and donations. It has also worked with other HIV and AIDS organizations, including the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

The answer is sometimes confused with amfAR or the Terrence Higgins Trust, both important organizations in the HIV/AIDS field. However, the question asks specifically for the foundation founded by Elton John, making the Elton John AIDS Foundation the single canonical answer.
