What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Under New Mexico's Charitable Solicitations Act, a professional fundraiser — someone who, for compensation, solicits contributions for a charitable organization — must register with the Attorney General before contracting with any charity (other than a religious organization), and file a surety bond at registration.
The bond is set at $25,000 under §57-22-6.2, payable to the state, and the fundraiser must maintain it (or alternative financial assurance approved by the Attorney General) for as long as it solicits in New Mexico. It is a charity-and-donor-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest handling of solicited funds.
It is not insurance for you — if a fundraiser misuses charitable contributions and the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your registration never lapses over a missed email.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
