Alexis de Tocqueville Society 

French aristocrat Alexis Charles-Henri de Tocqueville was a keen observer of

American society. His observations formed the basis of Democracy in America,

a detailed study of American society and politics. Perhaps his most important

observation was that Americans helped each other in times of need. He recognized,

applauded and immortalized the American spirit of voluntary association and

voluntary effort for the community good. Our Leadership Societies attempt

to do the same. By investing in the community at leadership level you are joining

an elite group of individuals who are driving change in our community.

The Tocqueville Society recognizes our most generous contributors, those individuals

who contribute $10,000 or more annually. These individuals make significant

change at a local level and make a powerful statement about their desire to care

for and strengthen our community. Thisl Society works to set the philanthropic standard.

I must say that I have seen Americans make a great deal of real sacrifices to the

public welfare; and have noticed a hundred instances in which they hardly ever

failed to lend a faithful support to one another.”
