The Alexis de Tocqueville Society was inspired by the French historian who wrote about Americans’ unique spirit of voluntary association and voluntary effort for the common good. It is designed to deepen the understanding, commitment, and support of individuals to United Way and to recognize the commitment to service. Membership in the Society is granted to donors giving $10,000 or more annually to United Way.

Members are truly leaders and part of an elite network building up our community through giving. Becoming a Tocqueville member reveals strong character and shows that you are dedicated to making a better world for others. 

Chairman’s Circle members are the core of our giving leadership. These members demonstrate a deep commitment to making our community a better place by giving between $1,000 and $9,999 annually. They set a standard for community leadership that strengthens the fabric of our region.
