About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the solicitor bond actually guarantees

North Carolina regulates charitable fundraising under Chapter 131F, the Charitable Solicitation Act, administered by the Secretary of State’s Charitable Solicitation Licensing Division. A professional solicitor — someone paid to solicit contributions for a charity — must be licensed and bonded under G.S. 131F-16.

The bond is tiered to the contributions you received in the prior fiscal year: $20,000 if you received under $100,000, $30,000 for $100,000 to $200,000, and $50,000 for over $200,000. It is conditioned on the solicitor complying with Chapter 131F and shields the Department from liability arising from the solicitor’s violations.

The bond runs to the State for the benefit of donors and charities harmed by a violation — if the surety pays a claim, the solicitor repays the surety. Pick your tier, and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

G.S. 131F-16(d) (Secretary of State)Under N.C. Gen.

Confirm your tier with the Charitable Solicitation Licensing Division.
