Sponsorship and Support

TIAA is a Fortune 100 financial services organization dedicated to helping our clients achieve financial well-being. We were founded nearly a century ago as the vision of one of history’s great philanthropists, Andrew Carnegie, to make a difference in the lives of teachers. Since then, we have helped millions at academic, medical, research, and cultural organizations—the people whose work makes the world a better place—retire with financial security.

Today, we are a global asset manager with award-winning performance. Our investment model and long-term approach aim to benefit the 5 million people and more than 16,000 institutions we serve. As we pursue powerful performance that drives better outcomes for our clients, we are committed to growing, innovating, continually improving, and building on our proud history of diversity and inclusion.
