About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

La. R.S. 51:1901.1 (professional solicitors)Under La. R.S. 51:1901.1, a professional solicitor with custody or control of charitable contributions must file a department-approved bond with the state treasurer at registration and renewal, in an amount of $25,000 or greater as the Department of Justice prescribes, with corporate sureties whose aggregate liability at least equals the bond. Confirm the required amount on your registration packet.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Louisiana professional solicitor bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the $25,000 bond amount, the same for every solicitor. If the Department of Justice prescribes a higher bond amount, the premium is still a flat 3% of that figure.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Where is the bond filed? +
With the Louisiana state treasurer, as part of your professional solicitor registration through the Department of Justice (Attorney General), Consumer Protection.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount registration bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you are registered. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
