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 am proud to work for PAF because I feel like I have a purpose with this Foundation and that my job makes a difference in patients lives. When friends or family ask me what we do here, I say "Do you have a few minutes?" because I honestly am so happy that they asked. To hear a patient tell me 'thank you for saving my life', it makes me very proud of PAF and knowing I'm a part of this team."
"Our agency would like to express our support and appreciation for the Patient Advocate Foundation. Your organization has been helpful in providing information and resources to assist those who are in need. Access to healthcare remains one of the vital and growing concerns of the Western Tidewater community. "
"As a person with two chronic illnesses, Crohn’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, life gives you challenges. PAF reviewed my meditations and what co-pay assistance is available to defray my cost. They show local, state, and county benefits, such as fuel assistance, utilities shut-off protection, transitional assistance with food, medical bills, etc. PAF is a direct patient advocate from eligibility, enrollment and to approval. This is a wonderful organization. They decipher to mountains of directions and get patient to the help available. My sincere thanks."
