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 was genially concerned about me and my feelings. She made sure all my questions were answered and that she found me all the help there was for me to receive. She made me feel that I was the only person that mattered at that time. Words can not express the gratitude of having PAF on my side."
"In April of 2016 my dad suffered a massive cardiac arrest. After seeking several second opinions, the risk associated with undergoing an open heart surgery in the current condition of his heart was profound, and anon-invasive way to help was presented. This option was not approved by my family’s insurance provider. PAF walked alongside of our family (during the appeals process) every step of the way, navigating a complex system my family would have otherwise stumbled through blindly."
"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."
