About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

New Hampshire regulates paid solicitors — people and firms hired to raise money for charity — under RSA 7:28-c, administered by the Attorney General's Charitable Trusts Unit. A paid solicitor must register before soliciting, and at registration and each renewal must file and have approved a $20,000 bond on which the solicitor is the principal obligor.

The bond is a donor-and-charity-protection guarantee: it stands behind the solicitor's honest handling of the funds raised and compliance with the charitable solicitation law. If a paid solicitor misappropriates donations or violates RSA 7:28-c, harmed charities and the public can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Registration is valid for one year and renewable, so the bond is refiled at renewal; we track yours and notify you ahead of the date to keep your registration continuous.

RSA 7:28-cNew Hampshire RSA 7:28-c requires a paid solicitor, at registration and each renewal with the Attorney General, to file and have approved a bond in which the solicitor is the principal obligor in the sum of $20,000, conditioned on compliance with the charitable solicitation law. Registration is valid for one year and renewable; the registration fee is $500 (separate from the bond premium).

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the New Hampshire paid solicitor bond? +
The premium is $600 — a flat 3% of the $20,000 bond amount, the same for every solicitor. The $20,000 is set by RSA 7:28-c, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $20,000? +
No. You pay $600. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is the bond the same as the registration fee? +
No. RSA 7:28-c charges a separate $500 registration fee, paid to the Attorney General. The $600 here is the bond premium — two different things, both filed at registration.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
Paid solicitor registration is valid for one year and renewable, and the bond is refiled at each renewal. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
