Who was alexis de tocqueville?

Alexis de Tocqueville was a French philosopher best known for his work Democracy in America, written in 1835. In his time exploring the United States and what makes it unique from other nations, he stated:

“I must say that I have seen Americans make a great deal of real sacrifices to the public welfare; and have noticed a hundred instances in which they hardly ever failed to lend a faithful support to one another.”

United Way’s Tocqueville Society was named after Alexis de Tocqueville and inspired by Americans’ compassion to support their community. Today, there are 400 of these societies across the globe and almost 25k members. Collectively they have raised over $529 million.
