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.

"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."

"Words cannot express how grateful I am to the PAF for all the help I received from the organization. The person I spoke to was very patient, professional and caring but firm, she didn't give-up on me. Thank you PAF because of your generous gift."

"I received a call from my case manager, who has subsequently become my guardian angel. She was warm and cordial and that was a great relief. We spoke for a while and she asked me a few vital questions. She said I was approved for $7,500. That was one of the most joyous days I’ve encountered in a long time. In short it was a miracle. A lifeline was given to a 68-year-old man living with HIV on Social Security. I am so grateful to her and PAF. I can’t tell you what a relief today brought me. I just wanted to express my gratitude immediately."
