Tocqueville Society

Since its inception, The Tocqueville Society has been the pre-eminent philanthropic association in Los Angeles County. Each year its generous and distinguished members have stepped forward to demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to positive change in Greater Los Angeles through United Way. The Society takes its name from the 19th century French historian and aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville who expressed his admiration of the American tradition of neighbor helping neighbor in his classic treatise Democracy in America. The Tocqueville Society has been at the forefront of philanthropic leadership in Los Angeles County for more than 15 years. We are proud to recognize local philanthropists who make an annual contribution of $10,000 or more to United Way.

Through unparalleled commitment, society members reflect extraordinary concern, foresight, and dedication to breaking the cycle of poverty and inspiring a better way of life for everyone in Greater Los Angeles.

We would be honored if you would join or renew your membership in The Tocqueville Society by investing in United Way's Creating Pathways Out of Poverty plan.

Going Even Further

United Way has even created other tiers to recognize our top donors. The California Gold level is open to donors of $100,000 or more per year and the Million Dollar Roundtable is composed of our most extraordinarily generous donors.

We salute Million Dollar Roundtable and California Gold level donors for their extraordinary commitment, contribution, and compassion.
