CT paid solicitor bonds.
$1,500 flat. Five minutes.
Connecticut requires fund raising counsel and paid solicitors who handle charitable contributions to register with the Department of Consumer Protection and file a surety bond under the Solicitation of Charitable Funds Act. This filing is a $50,000 bond — ours is $1,500 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Connecticut’s Solicitation of Charitable Funds Act (CGS Chapter 419d) regulates the for-profit firms that raise money for charities. Fund raising counsel who take custody of contributions and paid solicitors must register with the Department of Consumer Protection and post a surety bond as a condition of registration.
The bond is a donor-and-charity-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest handling of charitable contributions. If you misappropriate funds or violate the Act, a harmed charity or the people of Connecticut can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
A note on the amount. The statute (CGS § 21a-190e and § 21a-190f) names a $20,000 minimum penal sum. This particular DCP filing is a $50,000 bond — a higher figure the form requires. We price whatever penal sum your registration calls for at a flat 3%; at $50,000 that’s $1,500.
