Fundraising in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

 

 

 

Fundraisers and charitable organizations which solicit funds in Pennsylvania are regulated by the Commonwealth’s Solicitation of Funds for Charitable Purposes Act.

To be able to legally solicit funds in Pennsylvania, you are required to maintain a surety bond of at least $25,000.

The state will let you know the surety bond amount required should it be higher; and AmeriPro Surety Bonds will help you get the surety bond that you require --- no matter the amount --- filed in a timely manner.

Pennsylvania Professional Fundraiser Bond: The Purpose of this Surety Bond Requirement

 

 

 

The purpose of the Pennsylvania fundraiser bond, made payable to the Commonwealth, is to protect the public --- or donors – and the Commonwealth from any acts of fraud, theft, or criminal misconduct committed by a licensed professional fundraiser in the course of their charitable duties.

The surety bond’s protections afforded extend also to wrongful acts committed by owners, managers, and employees of a professional fundraiser or charitable entity.

The bond’s existence allows those who can demonstrate financial harm to file a claim against the surety bond in an effort to recoup any financial losses. The total amount from all claim sources can be no more than the bond’s $25,000 amount.

As the principal, you are obliged to reimburse the surety for all costs paid, should that ever be applicable.
