Fundraiser Bond

For individuals or businesses hired to manage and execute fundraising campaigns on behalf of charitable organizations, a Fundraiser Bond is usually required. Also known as Charitable Trust Bonds, these surety bonds guarantee that any funds raised on behalf of the charity will in fact be turned over to the charity.

Most states require professional fundraisers to register in their respective states, become licensed, and post a surety bond. These Fundraiser Bonds guarantee that such funds will not be mismanaged or misplaced, providing protection to any charitable organization that has experienced any losses, damages, or penalties resulting from any malfeasance or misfeasance by the principal, its officers or employees in the conduct of the solicitation activities while the bond is active.
