During their lifetimes Richard Kunde and Saralee McClelland Kunde were ardent supporters of 4-H and FFA programs, donating time and resources to advance the farm youth programs they believed were the future of Sonoma County agriculture.
​
The Kundes’ support for farm youth, agriculture and fairs continues today with the Richard Kunde and Saralee McClelland Kunde Endowment Fund, administered by the Community Foundation of Sonoma County. The multi-million-dollar endowment was established by Richard and Saralee to carry on their agricultural philanthropy once they had passed. Saralee died in 2014 and Richard passed in 2018.
