History
The T. L. L. Temple Foundation was established in 1962 by Georgie Temple Munz with an initial gift of 1,000 shares of Southern Pine Lumber Company stock worth $56,000. The foundation is named in memory and honor of her father, Thomas Lewis Latané Temple, who formed Southern Pine Lumber Company (later Temple Inland Inc.) in 1893.
Upon her death in 1982, Mrs. Munz left the balance of her estate to the foundation, whose assets have grown to more than $400 million. In creating the foundation, “Aunt Georgie” hoped to provide a perpetual source of funding to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Deep East Texas. Mrs. Munz was a lifelong resident of Deep East Texas, where the Temple family primarily operated its timber business.
Today, the Foundation is governed by a board composed of Temple family members and community leaders who share Mrs. Munz’s commitment to strengthening Deep East Texas. It has invested more than $440 million, primarily in Deep East Texas.
