Neal McNeil III was extremely passionate about investing and helping people prepare for a secure financial future. After he passed away in February 2016, McNeil’s family, friends, and colleagues wanted to honor him by making a difference in the lives of students, specifically those pursuing a degree in finance.

Established by Stratos Wealth Partners and Ibis Capital, McNeil’s former employers, the Neal McNeil III Memorial Fund provides resources for scholarships.

The Neal McNeil III Memorial Scholarship is a fund of the Coastal Community Foundation (CCF). The Foundation is a nonprofit corporation created in 1987 by residents of North Coastal San Diego County. The mission of CCF is to enhance the quality of life in the San Diego North County area by directing philanthropic efforts toward community needs.
