The Tocqueville Society is named for the 19th-century French historian Alexis de Tocqueville who, in his classic treatise Democracy in America admired Americans' unique spirit of volunteerism. The Tocqueville Society bears the Fleur de Lis symbol, representing faith, wisdom and valor.
Members are a special group of influential individuals who partner with Trident United Way to make this a strong, healthy community. Through their compassion and philanthropy, these individuals demonstrate exceptional generosity and leadership, and provide the impetus for real change in our region.
We are proud to recognize these local philanthropists who annually contribute $10,000 or more to United Way. Through unparalleled commitment, Society members reflect extraordinary concern, foresight and dedication to inspire a better way of life for everyone.
