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.
“The greatest benefit from receiving this scholarship is the ability to further involve myself in the community around me. I want to help people who have been through similar trauma. I feel that I will be a good source of encouragement to those who need it most.” - Oliver, Georgia College, Physics Major
“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
"For the past year, PAF has helped me to afford my prescribed medicine for the prevention of HIV. This medicine is a breakthrough type, has a super high effectiveness rate, and is of great benefit to almost anyone of any lifestyle sexual persuasion. Without PAF's assistance, it is very costly and not affordable to many."
