New Hampshire — Paid Solicitor Bond
New Hampshire requires a paid solicitor to register before solicitation and provide $20,000 security for the entire registration period. NHCT-21 accepts an executed bond copy or a surety-executed bond confirmation certificate. Prepare that evidence with the registration application, then handle each campaign's notice and reporting separately.

What this bond does
Provide Attorney General-approved paid solicitor security under RSA 7:28-c, with the solicitor as principal and a New Hampshire-authorized surety.
- Who needs it
- The compensated business soliciting for a charitable trust itself or through compensated people it employs, procures or engages. The law also addresses solicitation for police, law-enforcement and firefighters' associations. Advice-only fundraising counsel has a separate registration route.
- Who it protects
- The statute runs the bond to New Hampshire and persons with causes of action against the principal for liabilities from covered activities or violations of the applicable charitable-trust provisions or rules. Security must remain effective as long as registration does. It is not a guarantee that a campaign will meet its fundraising target.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Does NHCT-21 permit a surety confirmation certificate?
Yes. Its security item permits an executed bond copy or a bond confirmation certificate executed by a surety company. Match the actual required undertaking and effective period; a purchase receipt is not the specified certificate.
Is the bond required only if I hold contributions?
The RSA 7:28-c bond clause applies to the registered paid solicitor and requires security throughout registration. Custody is separately disclosed in the campaign notice. Describe your actual role rather than importing another state's custody-only bond test.
