About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A professional fund-raiser bond is a donor- and charity-protection guarantee. Mississippi conditions registration as a professional fund-raiser (or fund-raising counsel) on a $10,000 bond so that the charities and donors you raise money for have a backstop if you mishandle funds or violate the solicitation law.

It runs to the Secretary of State for the use of the state and for any person who has a cause of action against you for malfeasance or misfeasance in the conduct of a charitable solicitation. The bond is filed with the State Treasurer and approved by the Secretary of State, with aggregate liability capped at the bond amount.

The bond must stay in effect while you are registered. Let it lapse and your registration is at risk — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous. The application collects no credit information; most applications approve instantly, and if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.

Miss. Code § 79-11-513Section 79-11-513 of the Mississippi Code (part of the Regulation of Charitable Solicitations, § 79-11-501 et seq.) requires a professional fund-raiser or fund-raising counsel to file, at the time of registration, a $10,000 bond with the State Treasurer, approved by the Secretary of State, with the registrant as principal. The bond runs to the Secretary of State for the use of the state and for any person with a cause of action for malfeasance or misfeasance in a solicitation, with aggregate liability not exceeding the bond amount.
