In short, the existence of the professional fundraiser bond protects against acts of malfeasance and other wrongful acts committed by a professional fundraiser.
The protections afforded the public also extend to wrongful acts (malfeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance) committed by any employees, agents, or managers of a licensed fundraiser entity.
As principal of this surety bond, you are responsible to the surety for any claims and fees paid against your bond. The fundraiser surety bond is not an insurance policy; it truly is a surety policy.
