The CMPA is a 501 (c) (3) organization.  Throughout the years community members have donated time, services and funds to help support the various units and posses that make up the CMPA.  In special recognition of these efforts, the newly created Friends of the Carolinas MPA is for those who are interested in supporting the officers to provide the best horses, equipment, training and care possible for the horses with a tax deductible donation.  Citizens are welcome and encouraged to become part of this circle of friends to assist in helping providing essential equipment such as training aides, riding equipment and horse trailers.  You may donate to the CMPA general fund, or designate your contribution to the specific mounted police unit or posse that is committed to protect and serve your community. To become a member of the Friends of the Carolinas Mounted Patrol Association or for questions please contact friendsofthecmpa@carolinasmpa.org.
