United Way of Tompkins County Tocqueville Society
Tocqueville Society members are philanthropic leaders who, through generous gifts, demonstrate their commitment to tackling our community’s most pressing problems and creating sustainable positive change. The Society is named after the 19th century French political thinker and historian Alexis de Tocqueville who, in his writings, recognized the importance of voluntary action on behalf of the common good. The Society is dedicated to developing a stronger sense of community and connection among local philanthropists through engagement opportunities that grow awareness of issues and solutions affecting the well-being of children and families in our community and networking with like-minded individuals.
Membership Criteria
Tocqueville Society membership is open to individuals or couples who donate gifts totaling $10,000 or more annually.
