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 received a call from my case manager, who has subsequently become my guardian angel. She was warm and cordial and that was a great relief. We spoke for a while and she asked me a few vital questions. She said I was approved for $7,500. That was one of the most joyous days I’ve encountered in a long time. In short it was a miracle. A lifeline was given to a 68-year-old man living with HIV on Social Security. I am so grateful to her and PAF. I can’t tell you what a relief today brought me. I just wanted to express my gratitude immediately."
"On behalf of my father, I thank you. I thank whoever is the source of your grants, and all employees and/or volunteers. My father’s surgery was a success and he is on the road to recovery. Your generosity of financial support is greatly appreciated. My father is looking forward to celebrating his 61st wedding anniversary next month and enjoys his four children, six grandchildren and pet dogs."
"Helpful, pleasant, informative and considerate... I felt hopeless, abandoned and your foundation gave me the willpower to continue."
