Lender was also the chairman for the first meeting of the Estonian National Education Society (Estonian: Eesti Rahvahariduse Selts), with the goal of promoting Estonian-language public education at a time when Estonia was under the rule of the Russian Empire.

They had four children: daughters Ilka and Juta, teachers, Uno Lender (:et) (1906–1942), a diplomat, and Henno Lender (:et) (1905–1991), a doctor and military captain. Lender received the second class order of the Order of the Cross of the Eagle on 14 January 1935.
