The Weatherhead Foundation has supported the East Asian Institute since 1980, was founded by A. J. Weatherhead, Jr. in 1953 and is currently headed by his son, A. J. Weatherhead, III. 

"Al Weatherhead has been president of the Weatherhead Foundation since 1987. Now a family foundation, it concentrates on endowments for higher education. Since its establishment 45 years ago, it has supported, besides Harvard, Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management, Columbia University, the University of Texas at Houston, and Tulane University." 

"In 1993, he and Celia Weatherhead established the Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professorship at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The chair is currently held by government scholar Samuel P. Huntington."

"Al and Celia Weatherhead will visit Harvard in April 1998 for a symposium to celebrate and dedicate the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. Director Jorge Dominguez said: "We will convene senior international relations scholars to focus on the major issues and pressing challenges confronting the world as we move into the 21st century."
