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 did an excellent job in helping me resolve my issue allowing me access to my medication. I believe having PAF call did so much more than what I was to achieve."
“I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancerous tumors in my brain and my lung, all terminal. For several months, until my coverage kicked in, I had no insurance. The bills skyrocketed and with chemo and radiation treatment I could barely think straight. My PAF case manager was an angel who walked me patiently through the time-consuming application process, never wavering in her efforts. I can’t find enough words to thank her.”
"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."
