 Inspiring Hope and Creating Lasting Change
"When an American asks for the
cooperation of his fellow citizens, it is seldom refused; and I have
often seen it afforded spontaneously & with great good will."
-Alexis de Tocqueville, "Democracy in America"
The
Tocqueville Society of United Way of the Greater Dayton Area was
founded in 1986 to recognize and encourage exemplary leadership gifts
by individuals who generously donated $10,000 or more. The society is
named for Alexis de Tocqueville, the nineteenth century French
aristocrat who wrote "Democracy in America." In this work, Tocqueville
declared his admiration for the American philanthropic spirit, which he
believed to be one of our country's greatest assets.
