Lundborg Legacy
Lundborg Foundation was founded by Richard Lundborg in 1991, funded entirely from his business earnings. With a heart for Gospel missions, discipleship, and serving others, Richard left a legacy that would impact generations to come. Following his sudden passing in 2021, his son Michael (Mike) assumed the role of executive director of Lundborg Foundation, faithfully continuing the mission of sharing the Gospel.
After Mike’s unexpected passing a few years later (2025), his eldest son Corban Lundborg stepped into leadership in early 2026, bringing his experience in the military, ministry, and the arts to further the foundation’s stewardship and service to the Gospel that had been so faithfully demonstrated to him.
