New Hampshire Paid Solicitor Bond
Overview
New Hampshire requires paid solicitors to carry a surety bond before they can legally solicit charitable contributions on behalf of nonprofit organizations within the state. This bond protects the public and charitable organizations from financial harm caused by a solicitor's failure to deliver funds or act in accordance with their contract. If a paid solicitor mishandles donations or breaches their obligations, the bond provides a financial remedy for those harmed. Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to secure this bond and get your registration moving.
Who Needs This Bond?
Fundraising professionals who are paid to solicit donations on behalf of charities, telemarketing firms contracted by nonprofits to run donation campaigns, and independent fundraising consultants who receive compensation for charitable solicitation in New Hampshire all need this bond. If you are not a volunteer or an employee of the charity itself, but are instead paid to solicit on the charity's behalf, New Hampshire classifies you as a paid solicitor. That classification triggers the bonding requirement before you can register and legally operate in the state.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a paid solicitor will faithfully account for and deliver all charitable funds collected during a campaign. It also ensures the solicitor will comply with New Hampshire's charitable solicitation laws and the terms of any written contract with the charitable organization. Donors and nonprofits have a financial backstop if the solicitor misappropriates funds or fails to perform. The bond holds the solicitor financially accountable to the state and to the organizations they represent.
When is it Required?
Before submitting a paid solicitor registration application to the New Hampshire Department of Justice, Charitable Trusts Unit, you must have this bond in place. The bond is a prerequisite — not an afterthought — and the registration cannot be completed without it. If you are already registered and your bond lapses or is not renewed, your active registration is at risk. Secure the bond first, then file your registration.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide New Hampshire requirement and applies to any paid solicitor conducting charitable solicitation activities anywhere in New Hampshire. It is not limited to a specific county or municipality — it covers operations throughout the entire state. Whether you are soliciting door-to-door, by phone, or through events anywhere in New Hampshire, this bond must be in force.
