What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A commercial co-venturer is a business that runs a charitable sales promotion — advertising that buying its product or service will benefit a named charity. Alabama regulates these promotions under the charitable-solicitation provisions of Code of Ala. § 13A-9-71, administered by the Attorney General.
To register, the co-venturer files a $10,000 bond in which it is the principal obligor. The bond runs to the Attorney General for the use of the state and to any person with a cause of action against the obligor for malfeasance or misfeasance in the conduct of the solicitation — so the public and the benefiting charities have a financial backstop.
Registration runs for one year, expiring September 30, and is renewed by re-filing the bond and fee. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your registration stays current.
