Tocqueville Society

Become a Tocqueville Society Member

United Way's Tocqueville Society members are community leaders who generously give an annual contribution of $10,000 or more. As a Tocqueville member, you become one of 250 civic leaders who have come together to actively influence the vision of a stronger, healthier community. Your involvement with United Way—from your knowledge, ideas and energy to your financial support—has never been more critical.

The Society was named after Alexis de Tocqueville, who was only 26 years old in 1831 when he traveled throughout the United States and wrote Democracy in America based on his observations. He wrote about his admiration for the American spirit of voluntary action to create change in our community. United Way's Tocqueville Society was created to honor the goodwill and community leadership inspired by de Tocqueville's writings. Learn more about the national Tocqueville Society.
