A Louisiana professional solicitor who handles charitable contributions must file a $25,000 bond with the state treasurer when registering with the Department of Justice. Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, and there is no credit check on this bond.
















Registration bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Fixed-amount registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the state treasurer through your Department of Justice solicitor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Louisiana regulates charitable fundraising under the Solicitation of Charitable Funds provisions, administered by the Department of Justice (Attorney General), Consumer Protection. A professional solicitor is a paid fundraiser who solicits contributions on behalf of charities — and when that solicitor has custody or control of the contributions, the law requires a bond.
The bond is a donor-and-charity protection guarantee. It stands behind the contributions you collect — if a solicitor mishandles or fails to remit charitable funds, the harmed charity or the public can recover against the bond. It is filed with the state treasurer as part of your registration.
The statutory amount is $25,000 or greater as the department prescribes. The bond must stay active for as long as you are registered — we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
