"Linda Vallejo is a consummate grant writer and development officer. Her skills in putting together a proposal, defining the needs, making the case, and matching the salient points of a proposal with the funding source at hand is excellent. Linda worked with our organization on multiple grants in both the public and private sector. In addition to taking the lead in any situation, Linda was able to work within a collaborative structure...as evident in receiving the largest single GEAR-UP grant within the State of California. She brings to the task a multitude of talents; the ability to analyze the issue, to write clearly and succinctly, to develop the complete proposal package, and to see the project through to its completion and follow-up. She was a major player in the early years of establishing our organization, bringing a resource of knowledge regarding funding agencies and foundations."

"I have known and admired Linda Vallejo as an artist for almost twenty-five years. For almost that length of time, I have also admired her as an arts manager, arts fund raiser, and arts activist. Whether serving as a grantwriter for the Long Beach Civic Light Opera in the '80's or raising money for an exhibition of Chicana artists, in 2000, she has always been wildly successful. She not only knows the lay of the Arts Land (a land that, for Linda, extends beyond California to Mexico, Europe and China) but has mastered all the technical language and skills grantwriters needed in order to gain support for their passions, their projects and their clients. Quite simply, she is one of a handful of artists who understands and embraces the Business of Art and more often than not, she is able to translate that understanding into Dollars and Sense."
