Re:
TIAA-CREF Funds Post-Effective Amendment No. 153 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A
(File Nos. 333-76651 and 811-09301)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the TIAA-CREF Funds (the “Registrant”) on behalf of two of its series, Nuveen Lifecycle 2070 Fund and Nuveen Lifecycle
Index 2070 Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), hereby requests that the effective date of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 153 to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (“Registration Statement”) be accelerated so that the Registration
Statement may become effective at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time, on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
In connection with this request, the Registrant hereby
acknowledges that (i) should the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, such action will not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect
to the Registration Statement; (ii) the action of the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the
Registration Statement effective, will not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure
in the Registration Statement; and (iii) the Registrant may not assert such action as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission
under the federal securities laws of the United States.
In connection with this request, Nuveen Securities,
LLC, the underwriter for the Funds, has also signed this letter requesting acceleration.
The Registrant requests that notification of such
effectiveness be made by telephone call to Jeremy D. Franklin, Nuveen, at 704-988-4101 or by email at Jeremy.Franklin@nuveen.com.
Very truly yours,
TIAA-CREF
