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.

"When you are under the duress of a serious illness it is very taxing for a caregivers. I did not know where or if there may be some financial or informational help available. Your organization provided us with financial aid and guidance. The process for the application was simple and the staff was very helpful."
“I want to be able to help children when they are faced with a life-altering diagnosis. The benefits of receiving this scholarship from PAF have helped me achieve my dream of returning to UALR. When I was diagnosed, I was forced to drop out of classes which disqualified me for my scholarships. I was always afraid I would not be able to get any scholarships to help me go back. With the help of PAF I am now living my dream!” - Sheralyn, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Psychology Major
"My PAF advocate spoke with billing and had information sent to me to get help with my medical bills. She also connected me to a resource that could assist me with getting my medications at a lesser cost.”
