Policy on Voluntary Giving
An individual's choice of whether or not to contribute, as well as how much to contribute, is at the very heart of the United Way philosophy. The following principles outline United Way of Williamson County's commitment to voluntary giving:

• Any use of pressure or coercion is unethical and does far more harm to our organization and those we serve than any short-term gains it may produce.
• Contributing to the United Way of Williamson County should be presented as an opportunity to positively impact the community.
• The most effective workplace campaigns are the result of employee education about United Way and the value it brings to the donor through its partnerships with government, schools, businesses, individuals and other non-profit organizations.
• Payroll deduction allows donors to give as generously as they like by deducting a small amount per pay period.

These principles are shared with our volunteers and with the companies who participate in employee campaigns.

Leadership Giving
United Way of Williamson County has a dedicated base of community members who donate generously and encourage others to see the value United Way adds to our community. A special acknowledgement is extended to givers who lead our commitment in achieving lasting results by contributing at the following leadership levels:

Eagle Givers (Gifts of $500-$999)
Eagle Givers is modeled after the same giving level established by the Combined Federal Campaign for federal government employees who give generously at a leadership level.

Robertson Association (Gifts of $1,000-$4,999)
Named for 19th century Nashville philanthropist Duncan Robertson, the Robertson Association was first established in 1984. Williamson County’s first Robertson Campaign was held in 1986 and has grown at a rapid rate from year to year.

Cockrill Chapter (Gifts of $5,000-$9,999)
Ann Robertson Cockrill was one of the first settlers of Nashville, along with her brother James Robertson. Middle Tennessee’s first teacher, she believed in community service and in the need to do her part toward building a brighter future for her children and her children’s children. Today, 200 years later, members of the Cockrill Chapter continue this belief through their generous gifts.

Tocqueville Society (Gifts of $10,000 or more annually)
When Alexis de Tocqueville came to America in 1831 to study what he called America’s “great experiment” in democracy, he found a spirit of volunteerism he described in his written work “Democracy in America” in this way:

“When an American asks for the cooperation of his fellow citizen, it is seldom refused; and I have often seen it afforded spontaneously and with great good will.”

A nationally recognized organization, The Tocqueville Society is comprised of generous leaders who exemplify what Tocqueville saw in the early days of America and who continue that tradition today.
