Leadership Givers

Our Leadership Givers are divided in to two categories: Tocqueville Society Members and Challenger's Club Members.

Tocqueville Society

The United Way Tocqueville Society was formed in March of 1984 to deepen individual understanding of, commitment to, and support of United Ways work: advancing the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all. The Tocqueville Society recognizes local philanthropic leaders and volunteer champions around the world who have devoted time, talent, and funds to create long-lasting changes by tackling our communities most serious issues.

Membership in the Tocqueville Society is granted to individuals who contribute at least $10,000.00 annually to United Way.

Specifically, the United Way Tocqueville Society aims to:

Change lives through philanthropic leadership by focusing on the building blocks for a better life: a quality education that leads to a stable job; income that can support a family through retirement, and good health
Communicate the vital role of personal philanthropic action in creating long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of societal problems
Enhance local recognition of long-standing service volunteers
Foster philanthropic action and voluntary community service
Expand high-level personal giving and United Way Major and Planned Giving programs of a high standard
