But he understood that “No man becomes rich, unless he enriches others.” So, he set out to form a different kind of financial services company.
One built around ethics, ideals and investing for the long run. A company with true commitment at the heart of its mission.
In 1918, Andrew Carnegie created TIAA — to help educators achieve financial freedom and make a difference in the lives they touch.
Through the years, we’ve grown to also serve visionaries, nurturers and inventors across the not-for-profit landscape.

As our customers grew in numbers, their savings and investments made a positive impact on the world.
Today, we continue to help push the world forward as we help our customers achieve their financial goals.
We’re expanding our retail banking services, so that our customers can pursue financial well-being through every stage of their lives.
At the same time, we’re changing the face of cities, building iconic buildings, highways and airports…and bringing sustainability to farms and forests through our asset management business, Nuveen.

And we continue to empower our institutions in even broader ways, through endowment and philanthropy management, and commercial lending.
After 100 years, we’re recommitting to helping a new generation make a difference as they define their own success story.
We’re still here for those who believe compassion is the world’s most valuable commodity.
For those who know that success is helping others succeed. We’re here for those who understand that the only way to improve the world is to change it.
We are TIAA.
And we’re here to make a difference for the Difference Makers.
