LEARN MORE ABOUT JOINING THE UWS TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY
The namesake of the Tocqueville Society, Alexis de Tocqueville, admired three aspects of American life that continue to define our society: Liberty, equality and the spirit of neighbor helping neighbor. Today, members of United Way’s Tocqueville Society exemplify that philanthropic spirit that so impressed the young Alexis de Tocqueville when he first visited the United States.
We know leadership giving has a broader impact on our community, leaving a far-reaching legacy. By joining Tocqueville Society, you can influence meaningful change and create opportunities for all, starting with empowering youth to be successful in school and in life.
