AK paid solicitor bonds.
$300. Five minutes.
Alaska requires every paid solicitor to file a fixed $10,000 bond with the Department of Law before soliciting charitable contributions for compensation — ours is $300 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, and registration bonds like this are among the fastest things we issue.

$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A paid solicitor is anyone who, for compensation, solicits charitable contributions on behalf of a charity. Alaska wants a donor-and-public-protection guarantee that you'll follow the charitable solicitation rules and account honestly for what you raise.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Alaska (the obligee), with donors and the public protected. If a paid solicitor fails to comply with the registration regulations and someone is financially harmed, that person can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay in place for the entire period you solicit in Alaska. This bond filing is done on the Department's form and typically wants a wet-ink original — we mail it to you and track the renewal so your filing stays continuous.
