The Tocqueville Society

BUILDING A STRONGER COMMUNITY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME

Since the Tocqueville Society was first founded in 1987, they have championed the work of United Way of the Midlands, giving to those who need it most and encouraging others to do the same. Today, the Tocqueville Society has more than 375 members and has notably raised $117 million in Tocqueville donations that have been invested back into our community. $7.7 million was raised by Tocqueville Society members in 2021-2022 alone.

For 100 years, United Way donors have provided critical funding to help our neighbors meet their most basic of needs including access to healthy food, medical care, safe and affordable housing and academic supports, with the ultimate goal of helping families achieve long-term financial stability. The dedicated and passionate leaders of the Tocqueville Society champion this important work, knowing that we all have a stake in the strengthening of our community.

Buffet Match: A Momentous Achievement

Thanks to generosity of so many, we reached a tremendous milestone -Tocqueville Society membership reached 373. As a result of this achievement, Mr. Warren Buffett increased his match of the total campaign dollars raised, and hundreds of thousands of additional dollars were invested into our community.
