Tocqueville Society

Founded in 1984, the United Way Tocqueville Society is a generous group of trailblazing Waymakers™ that make broad, sustainable investments in our community. Tocqueville Society was brought to Kansas City by Adele and Donald J. Hall Sr., along with Gordon and Nancy Beaham, and has grown to currently have more than 600 members. 

Local Tocqueville Society members support the UWGKC vision of a thriving metro region where all people – regardless of identity, income, or background – have the opportunity and access to live a life of purpose, passion, and prosperity. As community problem solvers, members partner to invest and mobilize financial resources, connect with people and organizations tackling community challenges, and encourage innovative solutions that advance the mission. 

Tocqueville Society members aim to:

  • Change lives through philanthropic leadership focused on the building blocks for a better life: a quality education that leads to a stable job; income that can support a family through retirement, and good health.
  • Communicate the vital role of personal philanthropic action in creating long-lasting changes.
  • Expand high-level personal giving and United Way Major and Planned Giving programs.
  • Strengthen local United Way leadership by building a network of like-minded leaders across the globe.
