Before a paid solicitor raises money for charity in New Hampshire, RSA 7:28-c requires registration with the Attorney General and a $20,000 bond on which the solicitor is the principal obligor. Ours is $600 flat — 3% of the bond — with no credit check on this bond.
















Paid solicitor 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.
License 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 your paid solicitor registration or renewal at the Charitable Trusts Unit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
