North Carolina licenses professional solicitors and fund raisers through the Secretary of State, and conditions the license on a bond under G.S. 131F-16(d). The amount is tiered to your prior-year contributions — $20,000, $30,000, or $50,000 — and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard solicitor bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Secretary of State. Here is the whole thing:

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.
Submit the application with the bond amount for your tier — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the Secretary of State.
