What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A paid solicitor is hired to solicit charitable contributions on behalf of a charity. Arkansas requires the solicitor to register with the Secretary of State and to file a $10,000 bond under Ark. Code Ann. § 4-28-407, as a financial backstop for the donations and charities it handles.
The bond runs to the Secretary of State and the Attorney General for the use of the state, and to any person — including a charitable organization — that has a cause of action against the solicitor for liabilities arising from conduct that violates the charitable-solicitation law. The surety's aggregate liability is capped at the $10,000 bond amount.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. A paid solicitor also files each solicitation contract with the Secretary of State at least fifteen days before a campaign begins. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Secretary of State. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your paid-solicitor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $150 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
