MI professional fundraiser bonds.
$150 flat.
A professional fund raiser must be licensed and post a $10,000 bond before running charitable solicitation campaigns in Michigan. Ours is $150 flat, set by our carrier's rate book, identical for every fundraiser. 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 fundraiser bond guarantees
Michigan licenses professional fund raisers — people and firms that plan, manage, or carry out charitable solicitation campaigns for a fee — under the Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act (Act 169 of 1975, MCL 400.271 et seq.), administered by the Attorney General's Charitable Trust Section. Before soliciting, a fund raiser must be licensed and bonded.
The bond guarantees that the fund raiser handles donated funds honestly and complies with the solicitation law. This $10,000 bond applies to campaigns for organizations other than public safety groups — those carry a higher $25,000 bond.
If a fund raiser misuses contributions or violates the act, the state or harmed parties can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the $10,000 bond at $150.
