TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY
Alexis de Tocqueville was a French philosopher and philanthropist who travelled America in 1831. His journals record his thoughts on
democracy and his observations about
the remarkable commitment Americans make to the improvement of their communities. The name Tocqueville Society was chosen in honor of his admiration for the spirit of voluntary association and effort toward its advancement.
United Way’s Tocqueville Society is an influential group of local philanthropists, community-minded individuals and business leaders who contribute $10,000 or more annually.
