Stone, who will be asked to raise $76 million over four years, told reporters, "This sounds like an awful lot of money until you realize that one movie may cost $50 million."
She was named to the post by Dr. Mathilde Krim, chairman of the foundation, at a news conference to commemorate World AIDS Day.
"I am shocked by how little we know and how little we understand," Stone said. "What I am hoping to do is to create an awareness and an understanding to help diminish the fear that inhibits our positive movement towards beating this (disease)."
British actress Natasha Richardson, daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and Tony Richardson, recalled the death of her actor-director father, four years ago.
"On November 14, four years ago, I held my father's hand as he died of AIDS...," she said, adding that she feared acquired immune deficiency syndrome had been getting less and less space in the media each year since then.
