The Alexis de Tocqueville Society

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society is comprised of community leaders who make an annual gift of $10,000 or more to United Way, setting an extraordinary example of generosity for others to follow.

Unifying the philanthropic efforts of these community leaders, the society is named after Alexis de Tocqueville, a 19th century French aristocrat who praised this country's spirit of volunteerism and philanthropy in his 1835 book, Democracy in America.

Each year, our Society honors a remarkable person in our community for their tireless leadership and their generous philanthropic commitment.
