Awards & Accomplishments
PAF is honored to have received many distinguished recognitions and awards throughout our years of service. Our most recent national recognitions include a Charity Navigator Four-Star rating, Candid’s Platinum Transparency 2024 award, and Great Nonprofits’ 2024 Top-Rated Non-Profit designation.
While the evaluation criteria used by each vary, these distinctions signify that the level and consistency of the financial stewardship applied to donations and the progress PAF is making toward its mission is among the best in the nation’s non-profit community.
“I want to be able to help children when they are faced with a life-altering diagnosis. The benefits of receiving this scholarship from PAF have helped me achieve my dream of returning to UALR. When I was diagnosed, I was forced to drop out of classes which disqualified me for my scholarships. I was always afraid I would not be able to get any scholarships to help me go back. With the help of PAF I am now living my dream!” - Sheralyn, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Psychology Major
"I’m 66 years old and I was diagnosed with stage IV bone metastasized prostate cancer in July of 2014. I have been through Chemotherapy, Radiation and number of chemotherapy oral drugs. My doctor has told me that he has run out of options. I found a new hospital and they had a lot of treatment options and was able to help me with resources to help me cover the cost of treatment. PAF was one of the resources, they helped me fill out the application and was able to tell me right away they were able to give assistance with copays. This new found treatment and assistance from PAF gave me and my family new hope to keep up the fight on cancer."
"First of all, I want to thank you and your foundation for the help you have been to me. I don't think I would have gotten the approval from my insurance company without your help. This would not have been possible at this time without your help. My prayers have been answered, and I am eternally grateful to you, and the PAF."
