TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY
Since 1987, the United Way Tocqueville Society has recognized leaders who believe deeply in our community and in Living United.
United Way of the National Capital Area’s Tocqueville Society is comprised of leading philanthropists who understand the value of a major investment in our community, especially when directed and leveraged. United Way NCA recognizes Tocqueville Society members who invest $10,000 or more with a designated contribution to United Way NCA.
The Tocqueville Society focuses on increasing engagement of current donors and raising awareness of new donors and prospects to advance United Way NCA’s mission – to help children and families live their best lives by reducing disparities and increasing equity across our three pillars of health, education and economic opportunity.
The Tocqueville Society has been revitalizing its mission, connecting with fellow supporters who understand the impact of major-giving philanthropic support directly to United Way NCA’s community impact initiatives. We are committed to our most generous supporters by providing increased opportunities to engage with fellow major donors through networking, volunteering and signature United Way NCA events.
