What this bond does
Provide the professional fundraiser's required security under N.D.C.C. Section 50-22-02.1 for filing with the Secretary of State.
- Who needs it
- The covered person or business providing paid fundraising services, named exactly as the registered entity or individual. The client charity is not substituted for that principal; its own registration or applicable exemption must also be checked.
- Who it protects
- The statute runs security to North Dakota and persons with causes of action for liabilities from the principal's activities subject to Chapter 50-22. The fundraiser is the principal obligor, with one or more responsible sureties providing at least $20,000 in aggregate security for the full registration term. A qualifying rider to a larger blanket undertaking is permitted.

Questions about this bond
Is this filing only for someone who personally asks donors for money?
No. SFN 11303's instructions include covered paid planning, management, advice, consultation and preparation of solicitation materials. Describe the actual service before assuming the registration and security requirement does not apply.
What security evidence accompanies annual renewal?
The Secretary's programme requires the new registration each year and a continuation certificate for the surety bond. Security must remain effective for the full registration term; renewal is due before September 1.
