Alexis de Tocqueville Society

The Capital Area United Way established the Alexis de Tocqueville Society in 2016 to foster, promote and

recognize high levels of personal giving to the United Way. The Alexis de Tocqueville Society was named

after French author, Alexis de Tocqueville, who travelled to the United States in 1831 to record his

observations of life in our young nation. His observations, readings and discussions formed the basis of

Democracy in America, where he recognized and applauded the voluntary spirit that lives in America’s

heart.
