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 dad suffered a massive cardiac arrest and open heart surgery was recommended due to my dad’s age. A non-invasive way to mitigate my dad’s condition and reduce the enlargement of his heart to help improve his quality of life was presented. This option was not approved by my family’s insurance provider. This organization understands compassionate advocacy in a way that hospitals and insurance companies sadly do not. What a weight lifted to know my father can have this surgery and get to spend more good years with his wife, kids, and grandkids."
"I was 61 when diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. As I neared my 65th birthday I knew my insurance coverage was about to change and I had many questions about Medicare and supplemental programs. My case manager was very knowledgeable and guided me through the whole process. She participated on phone calls with me and insurance companies to secure the information I needed to make a good decision. Getting this expertise for free was an amazing gift."
"PAF were literally lifesaving, and they did it with courtesy and compassion. They are really are on your side."
