What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A professional solicitor is a paid fundraiser who solicits charitable contributions in Virginia. Under Code of Virginia § 57-61, each professional solicitor must register and file a $20,000 bond — a consumer-protection guarantee standing behind the honesty of how those contributions are solicited and handled.
The bond runs to the Commonwealth of Virginia for reimbursement of any penalties or losses resulting from malfeasance, nonfeasance, or misfeasance in the conduct of solicitation activities. A partnership or corporation may file a consolidated bond covering its members, officers, agents, and employees.
Registration is valid for one year and renews annually, so the bond must stay in force the whole time you're registered. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your filing stays continuous.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $20,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
