What is the purpose of a New Jersey Professional Fund Raiser’s Bond?

The primary purpose of the New Jersey Professional Fund Raiser’s Bond is to protect consumers from financial losses that may arise due to the fundraiser’s:

• Misappropriation of funds: The bond ensures that consumers’ funds entrusted to the fundraiser for transactions like premium payments, escrow funds, or commissions are safeguarded.
• Unintentional errors: The bond compensates for unintentional errors or omissions on the fundraiser’s part, such as incorrectly processing donations or failing to properly account for funds.
• Fraudulent activities: The bond covers losses caused by the fundraiser’s intentional acts of fraud or misrepresentation, such as falsely claiming tax-deductible donations or forging documents.

If the surety company pays a claim on the bond, it will seek restitution from the bond principal (licensee).
