Awards & Accomplishments
PAF is honored to be the recipient of many distinguished recognitions and awards throughout our 27 years of service.
PAF’s most recent national recognitions include a Charity Navigator Four-Star rating, Candid’s Platinum Transparency 2023 award and Great Nonprofits’ 2022 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 was so anxious over losing my insurance and my case manager stayed with me through the ups and downs and made sure I was settled with solutions and a good plan." - Ruth, Missouri
"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."
"I love PAF because it helps so many people and families when they feel like all hope is gone. PAF is able to lift that weight off their shoulders."
