Tocqueville Society

For more than 20 years, The Tocqueville Society of United Way of San Diego County has served as one of our community’s most prestigious and effective philanthropic organizations. During these times of economic hardship, it is more important than ever that we attract community leaders to The Tocqueville Society. We hope you will consider membership at this critical time.

Created by the United Way of America in 1984 by the late James F. Mulvaney to recognize its top donors, The Tocqueville Society is designed to deepen support for philanthropic giving. Tocqueville Society membership is granted to individuals who give at least $10,000 annually to United Way.

As a Tocqueville Society member, you play a vital role in developing the leadership and resources that enable United Way to have the greatest impact in our community. You are joined by other leading San Diegans committed at the highest level to improving lives.

We ask that you help United Way in its mission to provide real solutions to San Diego’s most pressing problems, while creating more possibilities for all. Your gift could transform our community forever.

The Tocqueville Society is named in honor of Alexis de Tocqueville, a French historian who traveled to America in the 1800’s and observed a spirit of voluntary association and effort for the common good. In 1835, he penned Democracy in America, an enthusiastic account about how Americans reached out to help one another.
