The Cadoma Foundation

Strategic Plan 2009

The Cadoma Foundation was incorporated in Wyoming in 2006 as a non-profit corporation committed to the preservation of Wyoming’s Historic Properties.  With a 6-member voluntary Board of Directors, the Foundation announced its existence and began development of the start-up foundation in the last two years.  One of the first accomplishments was to develop a mission statement and a three-year strategic plan.  As we approach the end of our second year, I am pleased to summarize our accomplishments and announce our plans for 2009.
