Amanda Anschutz is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Compassion Delivered, where she leads with a deep commitment to serving individuals and families facing serious or terminal diseases. Since founding the organization in 2017, Amanda has guided its growth from a simple idea into a trusted community resource, providing thousands of nutritious meals while fostering connection, dignity, and care for those navigating difficult health journeys.

With more than 15 years of leadership experience spanning nonprofit management, sales strategy, and community engagement, Amanda brings a unique blend of purpose-driven vision and operational expertise. She oversees all aspects of Compassion Delivered, including strategic planning, fundraising, partnerships, and program development, while also serving as a passionate advocate and spokesperson for the organization’s mission.

Prior to launching Compassion Delivered, Amanda served as Vice President of Sales at BEARACADE, where she led national initiatives focused on safety training and preparedness for schools, universities, and government agencies. Her leadership helped expand the organization’s reach and impact, while strengthening relationships across the education and public sectors.

Bowen Center, where she worked closely with at-risk youth and families, providing advocacy, crisis intervention, and coordinated care. This early experience continues to shape her compassionate, people-first approach to leadership.
