Uniting the Philanthropic Efforts of Exceptional Individuals.
The Mile High United Way Tocqueville Society is a powerful group of local business and civic leaders who individually contribute $10,000.00 or more and share a similar passion for investing in the community and making a difference - personally and collectively.
The Tocqueville Society is named after French author Alexis de Tocqueville who in 1831 traveled extensively throughtout the United States. His observations formed the basis of Democracy in America, a detailed study of American society and politics. He wrote: "I must say that I have seen Americans make a great deal of real sacrifices to the public welfare and have noticed a hundred instances in which they hardly ever failed to lend a faithful support to one another."
