Meet Lynn
Lynn Tusa - Development Director
Since entering the non-profit world in 2008, Lynn has dedicated her career to making a difference in the lives of children and families through non-profit work. Her unwavering passion for helping others led her to the CACNA1A Foundation.
Before joining the CACNA1A Foundation, Lynn spent nearly a decade managing development and communications initiatives for the Stamford Public Education Foundation in Stamford, CT. In her leadership role, she fostered strategic partnerships, drove fundraising efforts (including grant writing, direct marketing, annual appeals, and special events), and elevated the non-profit’s visibility within the community through public relations, social media, and email campaigns.
Prior to that, Lynn worked at The Rowan Center (formerly known as The Center for Sexual Assault Crisis Counseling and Education), where she orchestrated multifaceted fundraising and communication strategies in Fairfield County, CT.
Lynn resides in Stamford, CT, with her husband, son (when he is home from Villanova University), and their two Maine Coon cats. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Literature and Rhetoric and a certificate in Human Services & Society from Binghamton University, along with an Executive MBA from the University of New Haven.
