“Linda facilitated the strategic planning process wonderfully. Before the retreat, while our Board was blessedly not DYSfunctional, it was fairly NONfunctional, more or less meeting to “rubber stamp” work that staff had done. Today, our Board is active, engaged, and lively, moving forward with vision and purpose.”

Ted Pappas, President/CEO, Friendship Manor

"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

"Her experience, wisdom, ability to organize and lead a group gave me the confidence that she could facilitate a dynamic group process.  It was a great decision -- my expectations were exceeded by Linda's professionalism, knowledge, and skills."

-James P. Loftus, PhD, President, Cardinal Stritch University

“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

"We have utilized Wastyn & Associates for Employee Training, Community Meetings and Strategic Planning. They grasped the needs and goals of the City, and delivered an invaluable, expert and encouraging product.”

-City of Bettendorf

“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.”
