The Tocqueville Society, initiated by United Way of America in March, 1984, is designed to deepen the understanding, commitment and support of individuals to their local United Ways and to recognize their deep commitment to service.
The name Tocqueville Society was chosen because of Alexis de Tocqueville's admiration for the spirit of voluntary association and voluntary effort for the common good.
Individuals who contribute at least $10,000 annually to a United Way are recognized throughout the Tocqueville Society Program. It is a nationally recognized group of more than 28,000 members, including many of America’s leading philanthropists.
Locally, there are 50 Tocqueville Society members who invested nearly $1,400,000 – during United Way of Southern Nevada’s 2008 - 2009 campaign.
