The Alexis de Tocqueville Society

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society is a leadership recognition program established by the United Way of America in 1972. It was founded in honor of the French historian Alexis de Tocqueville who, in the early nineteenth century, wrote about the American spirit of volunteerism.

"When an American asks for the cooperation of their fellow citizens, it is seldom refused; and I have often seen it afforded spontaneously, and with great will."
----- Alexis de Tocqueville, 1835

Because Tocqueville recognized, applauded, and immortalized the voluntary spirit that lives in America's heart, the Callaway County United Way honors those who contribute $10,000 or more annually with membership in the Alexis de Tocqueville Society.

Membership in the Tocqueville Society is an opportunity to affirm your leadership and commitment to this community. It unites a growing group of civic-minded individuals creating a powerful legacy to help shape Callaway County’s future. Your membership in this select group will encourage others to open themselves to the importance of the Callaway County United Way and its role in the community.
