MI public-safety fundraiser bonds.
$750 flat. Soft pull.
A professional fund raiser soliciting in Michigan on behalf of a police, fire, or public safety organization must post a $25,000 bond — the higher amount the law sets for these campaigns. Ours is $750 flat, 3% of the bond amount, with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the fundraiser bond guarantees
Michigan licenses professional fund raisers — people and firms that plan, manage, or carry out charitable solicitation campaigns for a fee — under the Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act (Act 169 of 1975, MCL 400.271 et seq.), administered by the Attorney General's Charitable Trust Section. Before soliciting, a fund raiser must be licensed and bonded.
The bond guarantees that the fund raiser handles donated funds honestly and complies with the solicitation law. Campaigns soliciting for police, fire, or public safety organizations carry the higher $25,000 bond — the legislature set a larger figure for these campaigns, which have historically drawn extra scrutiny.
If a fund raiser misuses contributions or violates the act, the state or harmed parties can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the $25,000 public-safety bond at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
