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.
