Alexis de Tocqueville Society

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society of the Tulsa Area United Way was created in 1987 to foster, promote and recognize voluntary community service and personal giving at an exceptional level.

The society bears the name of French Aristocrat Alexis Charles-Henri Clerel de Tocqueville, who came to America in 1831 at the age of 26. His keen observations of American society and politics formed the basis of Democracy in America, published in two volumes in 1835 and 1840.

Tocqueville applauded the voluntary spirit so characteristic of Americans. He wrote, "When an American asks for the cooperation of his fellow citizens, it is seldom refused; and I have often seen it afforded spontaneously and with great good will."

Members of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society invest in the future of the Tulsa area with annual individual contributions of $10,000 or more.  Our Tulsa Alexis de Tocqueville Society membership currently boasts over 225 of these exceptional individuals or families.

Planned Giving  

Since 1924, the health and human service programs supported by the Tulsa Area United Way have enhanced the lives of our friends and neighbors.

Our United Way's commitment to care for our community continues far beyond the needs of this year, or this generation, by providing for the future through our Planned Giving Program. By making a gift through your will or estate, you can have confidence that, as our community's needs change, your money will continue to address the most pressing health and human service needs.

Our Planned Giving Program focuses on encouraging people of all income levels to provide for those organizations that have made a difference in their own life as well as in the lives of their loved ones. Through this program, your bequest or special tax saving gifts, benefits both you and the United Way.

Your gift ensures that your compassion makes a difference today, and extends beyond tomorrow.
