A Long History of Standing Together, Standing Tall

For the past twenty years, members of the Tocqueville Society--Ruth Sharp Altshuler Circle of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas have worked to advance the common good for the people of North Texas.

Tocqueville Society members have collectively contributed $37 million in just the last five years. These gifts helped individuals and families form the building blocks of a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

Tocqueville Society member's gifts also helped launch two education initiatives:

• Destination: Graduation-focused on improving high school graduation rates in Dallas and Plano independent school districts.
• TLC for Youth-provides free educational and recreational summer camp programs for at-risk children and youth from low-income families

By giving $10,000 or more, you join these visionaries who commit their gifts, time and talent to address our community's most critical needs.

Your gift matters. Learn more about how Tocqueville dollars are working in our community.

“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.”
