Alexis de Tocqueville Society

The Tocqueville Society was founded in honor of the French historian, Alexis de Tocqueville, who wrote about the boundless American spirit of volunteerism in the early 19th century. The Tocqueville Society strives to deepen individual support of the United Way and its service to the community. Alexis de Tocqueville appreciated, applauded and forever immortalized the compassionate, passionate spirit that lives in America’s heart.

The Tocqueville Society exemplifies these qualities in local communities. Three elements of democracy which Tocqueville so admired in American society were liberty, equality, and the spirit of neighbor helping neighbor. Tocqueville hoped that by achieving these elements of democracy, all people would choose to pursue freedom, knowledge and prosperity.

Members of the Tocqueville Society pledge $10,000 or more to the annual campaign of the United Way of Northwest Arkansas. As a Tocqueville member, you help the United Way fulfill its mission of improving lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community. Your gift gives hope and helps affect changes that matter most to people in our area. United Way of Northwest Arkansas is both honored and proud to have your vision, leadership and commitment.

“When an American asks for the cooperation of his fellow citizens, it is seldom refused; and I have often seen it afforded spontaneously, and with great goodwill.”

“As soon as individuals with a cause find each other out, they combine. From that moment, they are no longer isolated people, but a power seen from afar, whose actions serve for an example, and whose language is listened to.”    -Alexis de Tocqueville
