Alexis de Tocqueville Society

"I am bound to say that I have often seen Americans make large and genuine sacrifices to the public good, and I have noted on countless occasions that when necessary they almost never fail to lend one another a helping hand."
- Alexis de Tocqueville

The Tocqueville Society is named after French Historian Alexis de Tocqueville. In his book, Democracy in America, he wrote that he observed “a people who confronted their problems and addressed them.” Today, leaders in our community are using United Way to do the same thing.

Tocqueville Society members are thoughtful individuals who partner with the United Way of Kennebec Valley to make a lasting impact in our community. Tocqueville Society members contribute $10,000 or more annually to the United Way. Through their compassion, these individuals demonstrate exceptional generosity and leadership.
