That's not possible. The founder tag automatically appears (and replaces the admin tag) for the user that creates a wiki. By default, like I said before, rights are removed from any inactive admin and/or bureaucrat, which results in the founder tag disappearing. The reason for removing these rights is because a wiki bureaucrat can't remove bureaucrat rights from another user. Only staff can.

If you think the founder tag should be permanent and independent of whether or not the wiki's creator has rights removed, I would not disagree, and I would encourage you to formally submit that feedback using the form at Special:Contact/feedback.
