toCqUeviLLe soCietYUUnited Way established this society to recognize outstanding volunteerism,

to involve new and influential leadership, and to encourage personal gifts

by high-wealth individuals. The society’s name was chosen because of

alexis de tocqueville’s admiration for the spirit of voluntary association and

voluntary effort for the common good, a spirit he admired in america and

about which he wrote enthusiastically.

Gifts of $10,000 and above

“i cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome

trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”
