The Alexis de Tocqueville Society is a national
philanthropic society created by the United Way of
America to recognize and honor people who have made
extraordinary gifts to their communities through United
Way.
The society was named for French historian Alexis de Tocqueville, who admired
America’s unique spirit of volunteerism to help people
in need.
In 1990, Frances Langford Stuart founded the Martin
County chapter of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society with
four members. Today, with the help of active
chairpersons and generous community members, the chapter
has grown to 35 members.
Membership in the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, with
an annual gift of $10,000 or more, is one of the most
effective ways individuals can make a powerful
difference in the lives of people who need help. |
