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. Our carrier’s rate book prices this specific $50,000 filing at $750 flat.

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 $50,000 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
