United Way Capital Area Tocqueville Society
Named after the French historian Alexis de Tocqueville — who recognized and celebrated the voluntary spirit of the American people — United Way's Tocqueville Society honors the generosity of those individuals or couples who invest $10,000 or more annually in our community through United Way Capital Area.
United Way Capital Area's mission is rooted in the simple notion that we can accomplish more when we work together than we could ever accomplish individually. That's why we bring together people, nonprofit agencies, corporations, community interest groups, foundations, and other local resources, connecting them around the most pressing issues in our community. Through the collective power of these resources (i.e., dollars, volunteer workforce, and expertise), United Way Capital Area is changing Central Texas — for good. Our value is best illustrated by our name, because we are a united way of serving our community.

Leadership Giving Impact
I’m Peg.
Last year, while on leave from my job, I found myself with more free time. I decided I wanted to get more involved in community activities. I attended the fall meeting of the United Way Women's Giving Network (WGN). That particular meeting happened to feature a speaker who talked to us about child well-being and the state of childcare in the city.
The presentation moved me deeply, and I became interested in improving the quality of childcare in Austin.
Also at that meeting, I learned that the WGN did not yet have a system in place to provide its members the opportunities to participate in volunteer activities.
