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.
"My case manager started me down the path of applying for assistance and grants that would help me through this rough time. She directly helped me obtain Social Security Disability Insurance as well as co-pay assistance for my medications. Knowing someone out there who is familiar with resources is so reassuring."
"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."
"This was the best thing that has happened to me. I was ready to quit my treatments as my bills were piling up higher and I didn’t know what to do! The program lets you go ahead and get treatment when you need it."
