ILLOWA Sheet Metal Local 91, JATC
Linda provided us with several sources for grants, both locally as well as nationally. She met with us, determined our needs, and immediately provided us with some sources, then provided several more over the following weeks. She also was great in reviewing our grant requests, offering suggestions and ideas and lots of encouragement. We appreciate all she did and recommend her services – she knows what she’s doing!
- Carl Odendahl, Program Director, ILLOWA Sheet Metal Local 91, JATC
Hot Glass
"Linda's listening skills and attention to detail are amazing! She was able to capture the mission of Hot Glass Inc. in our grant proposals. Linda met my deadlines with no problem and was willing to produce in a short window of opportunity. Linda is willing to "go the extra mile" to find opportunities to help our organization!"
-Joel Ryser, Founder and Executive Director, Hot Glass
Moffit Cancer Center
"Linda and her team helped us pull together an extremely complex grant submission to the U. S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Their thoughtful guidance helped de-mystify the extensive list of focus areas our proposal was required to address, in a way that allowed us to tell our organization’s story while extolling the many benefits of the project for which we were seeking funds. Linda also made sure we were meeting all the administrative requirements and shepherded us through the process of developing a financial plan, which for this grant, presented a unique challenge. To accomplish this, Linda called on her stellar writing, editing and organizational skills, as well as her ability to connect with multiple members of our team and draw the best contributions out of everyone. All this on a very tight timetable."
-Janene Culumber, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Moffitt Cancer Center
Genesis Health Services Foundation
“Our staff had the pleasure of working with Linda on a couple of significant projects. Linda was very responsive to our needs and able to provide us with professional, well-written materials. We think of Linda as a great extension to our team at the Genesis Foundation. “
- Melinda "Missy" Gowey, CFRE, Executive Director, Genesis Health Foundation
Experience Quad Cities
“Linda Wastyn is not so much a grant writer, but a partner in development. She listens, learns and understands the client’s needs before ever putting one word on paper. Her attention to detail is absolute and the ability to submit projects before deadline takes pressure off me as a fundraiser, especially during those hectic times when so many grants are due all at one time. Highly recommended.”
