de Tocqueville Society Step-up Programs


Since 1987, hundreds of philanthropists from our region joined the de Tocqueville Society to raise millions of dollars in the spirit of helping people.

United Way of Greater St. Louis is pleased to offer a step-up program to individuals who desire to become members of the de Tocqueville Society over a three- or five-year commitment. This provides the opportunity to incrementally step up and wholeheartedly enjoy the benefits of the Society each year while helping people live their best possible lives.

Individuals who participate in the step-up program will be recognized as a de Tocqueville member, but only their actual gift amount will be recognized in their company's campaign total (i.e. Year 1 gift of $2,000 is counted toward company campaign, not total $10,000).

We hope you'll take this step with United Way to be a part of the most distinguished giving society in town.

If you have any questions, please contact Mary McMurtrey, Senior Vice President, Philanthropy, at mary.mcmurtrey@stl.unitedway.org or (314) 539-4065.
