OUR HISTORY
The Tocqueville Society, founded in 1984, was inspired by Alexis de Tocqueville’s observations of civic engagement and generosity during his travels in North America. These reflections, captured in his book “Democracy in America,” praised Americans’ spirit of volunteerism and community building. That became the foundation of the Society’s mission. Dr. Thomas F. Frist Jr. launched the first chapter in Nashville, and Atlanta, Boston and Cincinnati quickly followed. These founding communities helped shape the Society into a national movement of leaders dedicated to collective giving and philanthropy.
