About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Alabama regulates charitable solicitation through the Attorney General’s office under Ala. Code §13A-9-71. A professional fundraiser (paid to solicit charitable contributions) or commercial co-venturer (a business that advertises a charitable tie-in) must register — and registration requires a $10,000 surety bond.

The statute is precise: the bond runs to the Attorney General for the use of the state and to any person who has a cause of action against the fundraiser for any malfeasance or misfeasance in the conduct of the solicitation. The applicant is the principal, with one or more sureties whose aggregate liability is at least $10,000.

So it protects both the public and the donors: if a fundraiser mishandles donations or violates the charitable-solicitation law, a harmed party can recover against the bond. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — honest fundraisers treat it as a registration formality.

Ala. Code §13A-9-71Code of Alabama 1975, §13A-9-71 (registration of charitable organizations, professional fund raisers, and commercial co-venturers) requires a professional fundraiser or commercial co-venturer to file with the Attorney General a $10,000 surety bond. The bond runs to the Attorney General for the use of the state and to any person with a cause of action against the obligor for any malfeasance or misfeasance in the conduct of the solicitation.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Alabama professional fundraiser bond?The premium is $150 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond, the same for everyone, and the price you see is the checkout price. The $10,000 bond amount is set by §13A-9-71, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $150. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Does a commercial co-venturer need this too?Yes — §13A-9-71 applies the same $10,000 bond requirement to commercial co-venturers (businesses that advertise a portion of sales will benefit a charity), not just professional fundraisers.
Is there a credit check?Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount registration bonds at this level don't need one.
What does the bond protect against?It runs to the Attorney General for the state and to anyone with a cause of action for malfeasance or misfeasance in the solicitation. If a fundraiser mishandles donations, a harmed party can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
