South Dakota — Paid Solicitor (No Collection Of Contributions) Bond
South Dakota's $10,000 paid solicitor requirement is for solicitation without collecting contributions or otherwise having physical access to them. The no-collection label alone is not enough if your arrangement still gives access. Describe the entire donation-handling process before choosing this condition.

What this bond does
Provide the no-collection/no-physical-access paid solicitor security for Attorney General approval under SDCL 37-30-5.
- Who needs it
- The paid solicitor that only solicits and will neither collect contributions nor otherwise have physical access. A solicitor collecting or physically accessing contributions falls under the separate $20,000 requirement.
- Who it protects
- SDCL 37-30-5 protects South Dakota and persons with causes of action for liabilities from paid-solicitor activities or Chapter 37-30 violations. The posted $10,000 model binds the principal and surety for reimbursement of the state and citizens for covered claims involving the principal or its agents. It does not promise the charity a fundraising result.

Questions about this bond
Is no collection enough if my staff can still access donations?
No. The $10,000 condition applies when the solicitor only solicits and does not collect or otherwise have physical access. Actual access can place the arrangement under the separate $20,000 requirement.
Does each additional campaign automatically require another bond?
SDCL 37-30-5 says additional campaigns during the registration period do not require additional security. Continue maintaining the accepted undertaking and complete each campaign's required filings.
