KY professional solicitor bonds.
$375 flat.
Kentucky requires every professional solicitor that fundraises for charities to register with the Attorney General and file a fixed $25,000 bond — ours is $375 flat. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A professional solicitor is a paid fundraiser that solicits charitable contributions on a charity's behalf. Kentucky requires solicitors to register with the Attorney General and post a $25,000 bond as a donor-and-charity protection guarantee — a financial backstop that contributions are handled honestly and remitted as promised.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Attorney General (the obligee), with donors and the charities you serve as the protected parties. If a solicitor misapplies contributions or violates the charitable-solicitation statutes, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Registration expires December 31 each year and is renewed by reapplying, so the bond must stay active across renewals — we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
