GA paid solicitor bonds.
$300. Five minutes.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia’s Charitable Solicitations Act regulates paid solicitors — firms paid to solicit charitable contributions — through the Secretary of State. Under O.C.G.A. 43-17-4, a paid solicitor that has physical possession or legal control over the contributions it collects must file a $10,000 surety bond payable to the State of Georgia.
The bond is a donor-and-charity-protection guarantee: it backs your faithful compliance with the Act and your obligation to properly account for and turn over the funds you raise. If a solicitor misappropriates contributions, harmed parties can recover against the bond.
The Act lets you deposit a $10,000 certificate of deposit, letter of credit, or government obligations in lieu of the bond — but a surety bond is usually far cheaper, since you pay the 3% premium instead of tying up the full $10,000.
