About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Under New Mexico's Charitable Solicitations Act, a professional fundraiser — someone who, for compensation, solicits contributions for a charitable organization — must register with the Attorney General before contracting with any charity (other than a religious organization), and file a surety bond at registration.

The bond is set at $25,000 under §57-22-6.2, payable to the state, and the fundraiser must maintain it (or alternative financial assurance approved by the Attorney General) for as long as it solicits in New Mexico. It is a charity-and-donor-protection guarantee: it stands behind your honest handling of solicited funds.

It is not insurance for you — if a fundraiser misuses charitable contributions and the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your registration never lapses over a missed email.

NMSA 1978 §57-22-6.2 (Charitable Solicitations Act)NMSA 1978, Section 57-22-6.2 requires a professional fundraiser to file a surety bond with the Attorney General at the time of registration, in an amount and on a form provided by the Attorney General, and to maintain the bond (or alternative financial assurances approved by the Attorney General) for as long as the fundraiser solicits in the state. The bond amount used here is $25,000, payable to the state — confirm the current amount and form on your registration application.
