Alexis de Tocqueville Members

We invite you to join other prominent leaders in the Dutchess County community to become a member of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society.

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society is the foundation of leadership giving in Dutchess County. The Dutchess County chapter is one of 276 Alexis de Tocqueville societies in the United States. The Society takes its name from Alexis de Tocqueville, a Frenchman who drew inspiration from the spirit of philanthropy he encountered in his American travels in the early 1800s.

De Tocqueville wrote extensively on the power of voluntary giving for the common good. Since 1984, the United Way of Dutchess County Alexis de Tocqueville Society has recognized the deep commitment to service of outstanding community leaders who make an annual contribution of $10,000 or more.

Your participation in the Alexis de Tocqueville Society is an invaluable investment in the future of Dutchess County. As a leader in our community, your generosity will encourage others to give, and most importantly, will positively change lives in Dutchess County.
