OK professional fund raiser bonds.
$275 flat. Soft pull.

Oklahoma requires a professional fund raiser to register with the Secretary of State and file a $2,500 bond before soliciting charitable contributions. 3% of $2,500 is below our floor, so this bond is our $275 minimum — flat for every applicant. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Oklahoma regulates charitable solicitation through the Secretary of State under the Solicitation of Charitable Contributions Act. A professional fund raiser — anyone paid to solicit contributions for a charity, or who manages others who do — must register before soliciting in the state.

Part of that registration is a $2,500 surety bond, filed under 18 O.S. §552.7, running to the State for the benefit of any person harmed by the fund raiser's misconduct. It backstops honest handling of the money raised for the charities you work with.

It is not insurance for you — if a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety. A fund raiser who accounts for contributions honestly treats the bond as a registration line item, not a risk.

18 O.S. §552.7 (Secretary of State)Under the Oklahoma Solicitation of Charitable Contributions Act (18 O.S. §552.7), a professional fund raiser must register with the Secretary of State and file a $2,500 surety bond before soliciting charitable contributions in the state. The bond runs to the State for the benefit of persons harmed by the fund raiser. Confirm the current registration packet and fee schedule with the Secretary of State.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Oklahoma professional fund raiser bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. A flat 3% of the $2,500 bond would be $75, which is below our floor, so the price is $275, the same for every fund raiser.
Do I pay the $2,500? +
No. You pay $275. The $2,500 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Oklahoma Secretary of State, as a condition of registering as a professional fund raiser under the Solicitation of Charitable Contributions Act (18 O.S. §552.7).
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price; the price is $275 either way.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, and the bond must stay active for your registration to stay valid.
