Tocqueville Society

A History of the Tocqueville Society

Alexis de Tocqueville was a French aristocrat who admired the voluntary spirit of American society. His observations formed the 1835 work “Democracy in America,” a detailed study of American society, culture and politics. Perhaps his most important obervation was Americans helped one another in times of need. He recognized, applauded and immortalized the volunteer spirit that lives in an American’s heart. 

United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley’s Tocqueville Society was created in 1993 to recognize those individuals and couples who contribute $10,000 or more annually to the organization. The gifts of 89 very generous members make up our local Tocqueville Society. These generous members make up 23%, or $1,562,483 of the 2010 campaign.

Tocqueville Society Membership
Today more than ever we need leaders to step-up and become Tocqueville Society members. Your annual gift of $10,000 or more to United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley will set an example for others to follow. Your generosity ensures that people in our community will continue to find the help they need through United Way funded programs. Your generosity helps build a better community for all of us.

You are invited to join the men and women of the Tocqueville Society. These are men and women who are committed to making a real difference in our community; men and women who care about advancing the common good by focusing on Basic Needs, Income, Health and Education- the building blocks for a good life.
