What it is and who needs it.
What the paid solicitor bond covers
South Dakota regulates charitable solicitation under SDCL chapter 37-30, administered by the Division of Consumer Protection in the Attorney General’s office. A paid solicitor — someone paid to solicit contributions for a charity — must register and file a surety bond under SDCL 37-30-5 before soliciting.
The bond amount turns on whether the solicitor handles money. This is the $10,000 tier, for a paid solicitor who does not collect or have access to contributions. If you do collect or have access to contributions, the bond is $20,000 — see our collection page.
The bond runs to the State for the benefit of any person harmed by the solicitor’s violation of the charitable solicitation laws. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you. Failing to file the required bond is a Class 2 misdemeanor under the chapter.
