What this bond does
Provide the accepted PS-02 security for paid solicitor registration with the Arkansas Secretary of State under Ark. Code Ann. §§ 4-28-401–416.
- Who needs it
- The paid solicitor applying to conduct fundraising work for charitable organizations. Identify the solicitor as principal, not simply the charity receiving the contributions, and disclose the professional telemarketers used.
- Who it protects
- PS-02 runs to the Secretary of State for Arkansas and persons with causes of action for covered deceptive trade practices, malfeasance or misfeasance by the solicitor or a retained professional telemarketer during solicitation. It requires faithful compliance with the cited charitable-solicitation provisions and other relevant Arkansas law. Recovery is not a guarantee that every campaign will meet its fundraising target.

Questions about this bond
Is the charity automatically the bond principal?
No. This is the paid solicitor's registration security. Match the actual solicitor applicant and authorized representative to PS-02 and the registration papers.
Can I file the bond without the other registration papers?
The application requires a complete packet, including the appropriate contract and other applicable attachments. It gives a 15-day advance filing requirement and rejects incomplete submissions. Security alone does not authorize solicitation.
