United Way's Tocqueville Society Membership in the Tocqueville Society is granted to individuals who contribute at least $10,000 annually to United Way of the Greater Capital Region. The program was established nationally in 1984 and locally in 1993. It exists to foster, promote and recognize the vital importance of voluntary community service and personal giving at an exceptional level.
 Tocqueville Society members are recognized at both the local and national level and listed in Tocqueville Society leadership directories with other prominent leaders from across the nation.
The Society's namesake, a 19th century French historian, wrote about his admiration of the American spirit of voluntary effort for the common good. That spirit can be seen today in the generosity of United Way leadership contributors. Tocqueville Society giving levels are: - La Table Ronde d'un Million de Dollars, for contributions of $1 million or more
- La Societe Nationale, for contributions of $100,000 to $999,999
- Ordre de Fraternite, for contributions of $75,000 to $99,999
- Ordre d'Egalite, for contributions of $50,000 to $74,999
- Ordre de Liberte, for contributions of $25,000 to $49,999
