Tocqueville Society

Pierce County is fortunate to have a group of extremely dedicated individuals looking to make long-term changes in the health and well-being of our community. These donors make generous commitments of time, talent and treasure to United Way of Pierce County. Their gifts of $10,000 or more annually qualify them to be members of the Tocqueville Society (both locally and nationally). The Society honors individuals for their overwhelming support of our mission.  Please contact Mike Robinson at (253) 597-7495 or miker@uwpc.org for more information about UWPC’s Tocqueville Society.

Who is Alexis de Tocqueville?
Alexis de Tocqueville was a French philosopher and philanthropist who travelled America in 1831. His journals record his thoughts on democracy and his observations about the remarkable commitment Americans make to the improvement of their communities. The name Tocqueville Society was chosen in honor of his admiration for the spirit of voluntary association and effort toward its advancement.
