What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A professional solicitor is paid to solicit contributions for a charity — and Tennessee, like most states, regulates them closely because they handle donor money. The Secretary of State’s Division of Charitable Solicitations & Gaming conditions registration on a $25,000 surety bond filed with the registration application.
The bond is a donor- and charity-protection guarantee: it stands behind the solicitor’s compliance with the Charitable Solicitations Act and protects charities and donors from fraudulent or unethical fundraising. It runs as long as the registration is in effect, and the surety must give the state 30 days’ notice before any cancellation.
The bond is not insurance for the solicitor. If a solicitor misuses charitable funds or violates the Act and someone is harmed, a claim can be made against the bond — and if the surety pays, the solicitor repays the surety. We issue the $25,000 at a flat 3% with no credit check.
