About Tocqueville Society

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 55 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.

“United Way is the one organization addressing the issues to advance the common good in Martin County.”
