Founded by sister Alice Jean Stine for grants to nonprofit organizations providing for the rescue and well-being of horses.

Paul Luther Stine, Jr. was born on October 20, 1938, the son of Paul and Julia Stine. Growing up in Knoxville, he worked with his family in farming. He was a lifelong member of the Petersville Lutheran Chapel and enjoyed collecting horse-related items, miniature school buses, bells, key chains, and letter openers. Alice Jean Stine, who created The Paul Luther Stine, Jr. Memorial Fund to honor her brother’s memory, shares that Paul, though mentally challenged, “was a man of great strength who survived a difficult birth and lived a good and productive life with his parents and sister who cared for and about him.” The fund provides grants to nonprofit organizations providing for the rescue and well-being of horses to commemorate Paul’s love of animals.
