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 must say that I’ve never spoken with anyone who seemed to understand what being a caregiver actually entails. After speaking with you via telephone you so effortlessly supported me with patience, care and professionalism. During our conversation you somehow eased my pain, stress and anxiousness."
"Not only did we face life threatening situations, but we were faced with tens of thousands in medical bills after our insurance company denied all claims from two separate hospital visits as due to pre-existing conditions. PAF patiently and thoroughly explained the appeals process, and then coached us through negotiation of bills from the hospital and more than a dozen other providers. They even contacted my provider to advocate on our behalf, adding credibility and professionalism to our ultimately successful negotiations. As a result we saw our total costs for all related bills reduced to about a third of the original amount."
"Thank you for your help in my time of need. I found the program very helpful in my financial situation. The counselors were so kind and helpful. They guided my through the financial process with an understanding that I was in good hands now! I have to admit that I was scared, but they put my mind at ease with assurance that they are here to help."
