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’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."
"Words cannot express how grateful I am to the PAF for all the help I received. On the day I received the call from my PAF case manager I was so worried and overwhelmed, I struggled with the answers to very simple questions. She was very patient, professional and caring but firm, she didn't give-up on me. I was encouraged by her positive and fast response to my financial situation."
"During the most stressful health issue I've ever dealt with, the PAF gave me hope. Being able to have someone who could take the complicated insurance issues out of the equation was immensely helpful. I was so worn out from my illness and the surgery denial that the thought of having to understand the ins and outs of my insurance plan well enough to fight them was more than I could bear... having the PAF on my side made all the difference!"
