What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Alabama regulates charitable solicitation through the Attorney General’s office under Ala. Code §13A-9-71. A professional fundraiser (paid to solicit charitable contributions) or commercial co-venturer (a business that advertises a charitable tie-in) must register — and registration requires a $10,000 surety bond.
The statute is precise: the bond runs to the Attorney General for the use of the state and to any person who has a cause of action against the fundraiser for any malfeasance or misfeasance in the conduct of the solicitation. The applicant is the principal, with one or more sureties whose aggregate liability is at least $10,000.
So it protects both the public and the donors: if a fundraiser mishandles donations or violates the charitable-solicitation law, a harmed party can recover against the bond. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — honest fundraisers treat it as a registration formality.
