Members of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society not only see our community for what it is, they are generous in helping shape it into a better version of all it can become. They dream new dreams, create new possibilities, chart new trails and lead us all to a brighter future. In 2010-11, 817 Alexis de Tocqueville Society members personally contributed $10,000 or more, raising a record-breaking $14.2 million for our community.
A phenomenal group of Alexis de Tocqueville Society members who are dedicated to the mission of encouraging new and increased giving have generously established a Challenge Match fund. Their leveraged gifts have cushioned the effects of a challenging economic time and allowed us to touch the lives of even more Houstonians.
