The prestigious Alexis de Tocqueville Society is a national, philanthropic group that honors individuals who annually give $10,000 or more to United Way. Alexis de Tocqueville members receive personalized service regarding their philanthropy and many have found that through United Way they are able to reach all of their charitable objectives.

Legacy Society
The Legacy Society is composed of community members who have committed to the community by including United Way in their planned giving. Planned gifts create opportunities for both United Way and our contributors. Determining what gift is right for you is just as important as making the gift. There are a myriad of easy giving options from which you can choose — from naming us as a beneficiary in your will to a more complex trust arrangement. Ultimately the best plan for you will balance what you wish to accomplish for yourself and your family.
