MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS  MARCH 31, 2000

     DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

     On behalf of the Board of Directors of First American Funds, thank you for
     the opportunity to manage your mutual fund investments. If you are a new
     investor, we welcome you to the First American family of funds. If you are
     a long-term investor, we are again proud to meet your ongoing investment
     needs.

     Whether you're new to investing or an experienced investor, the last six
     months have been a period of rapidly changing markets and hand wringing.
     The Dow Jones Industrial Average (the "Dow") moved steadily upward during
     the fourth quarter of 1999, only to surrender its gains early in the first
     quarter of this year due to concerns over rising interest rates. The Dow
     regained momentum late in the first quarter after investors looked past
     rate hikes to another period of strong corporate profits. During the same
     period, the Nasdaq reached record heights only to suffer a dramatic
     correction.

     Tax-free bonds were hit hard in the fourth quarter by rising interest rates
     and tax-loss selling. However, events within municipal bond
     markets--including a dwindling supply of certain state municipal bonds,
     have contributed to stronger price performance in the first quarter. First
     American Funds' portfolio managers are managing call protection,
     selectively adding nonrated bonds to increase income, and capturing
     additional yield through longer-term securities.

     We are pleased to introduce three new state tax-free funds: The Arizona Tax
     Free Fund, the California Tax Free Fund, and the Colorado Tax Free Fund.
     All three funds offer highly competitive yields along with less credit risk
     than many of their peers.

     Within this report, you'll find financial statements on the First American
     tax-free funds during the past six months, plus a complete list of fund
     holdings.

     In closing, we encourage you to maintain a diversified portfolio and to
     stay the course amid volatile markets. Although dramatic fluctuations are
     becoming commonplace, investors may be able to better weather volatility
     through balanced portfolios, coupled with a disciplined investment
     approach.

     Thank you for your confidence in First American Funds.

     Sincerely,


     /s/ Virginia L. Stringer             /s/ Paul A. Dow


     VIRGINIA L. STRINGER                 PAUL A. DOW

     Chair                                Chief Investment Officer and President
     First American Investment Funds,     First American Asset Management
     Inc.

1 >  ORGANIZATION

     The First American Arizona Tax Free Fund, California Intermediate Tax Free
     Fund, California Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund,
     Colorado Tax Free Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Intermediate
     Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund,
     and Tax Free Fund (collectively, the "Funds") are mutual funds offered by
     First American Investment Funds, Inc. ("FAIF"). The First American
     Corporate Bond Fund, Limited Term Income Fund, Intermediate Term Income
     Fund, Fixed Income Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Balanced Fund, Real Estate
     Securities Fund, Equity Income Fund, Equity Index Fund, Large Cap Value
     Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund,
     Small Cap Growth Fund, International Index Fund, International Fund, Health
     Sciences Fund, Technology Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, and Mid Cap Growth
     Fund are also funds offered by FAIF but are not included in this report.
     FAIF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
     an open-end investment management company. FAIF's articles of incorporation
     permit the board of directors to create additional funds in the future.

     These FAIF Funds offer Class A and Class Y shares. Arizona Tax Free Fund,
     California Tax Free Fund, Colorado Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Tax Free Fund
     and Tax Free Fund also offer Class C shares. Class A shares are sold with a
     front-end sales charge. Class Y shares have no sales charge and are offered
     only to qualifying institutional investors. Class C shares are sold with a
     front-end sales charge and are subject to a contingent deferred sales
     charge for 18 months.

     The Funds' prospectuses provide a description of each Fund's investment
     objectives, policies and strategies. All classes of shares have identical
     voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and
     conditions, except that the level of distribution fees charged may differ
     among classes and each class has exclusive voting rights on any matters
     relating to that class' servicing or distribution arrangements.


2 >  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are as follows:

     SECURITY VALUATION - Security valuations for FAIF Fund investments are
     furnished by one or more independent pricing services that have been
     approved by the Board of Directors. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to
     maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service
     may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions,
     broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other electronic data processing
     techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or
     prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity,
     ratings and general market conditions. When market quotations are not
     readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in
     good faith by procedures established and approved by the Board of
     Directors. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity
     may be valued at their amortized cost. Investments in closed-end mutual
     funds which are traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on
     the NASDAQ national market system) are stated at the last quoted sales
     price if readily available for such securities on each business day.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -
     The Funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security
     purchase or sale. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium
     and discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Security gains and losses
     are determined on the basis of identified cost, which is the same basis
     used for Federal income tax purposes.

     DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - The Funds declare and pay income dividends
     monthly. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for a Fund
     are distributed to shareholders at least annually.

     FEDERAL TAXES - It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a
     regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income.
     Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. For Federal
     income tax purposes, required distributions related to realized gains from
     security transactions are computed as of September 30th and October 31st.


(48       FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT 2000
<PAGE>

     Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
     financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent
     book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to losses
     deferred due to wash sales.

     The character of distributions made during the year from net investment
     income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization
     for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend
     distributions, the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may
     differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were
     recorded by the Fund. To the extent these differences are permanent,
     adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that
     the difference arises.

     SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS - Delivery and payment for
     securities that have been purchased by a Fund on a forward commitment or
     when-issued basis can take place up to a month or more after the
     transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market
     fluctuations and the portfolio maintains, in a segregated account with its
     custodian, assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount
     of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or
     forward commitment basis may increase the volatility of a Fund's net asset
     value if the Fund makes such investments while remaining substantially
     fully invested. At March 31, 2000, the Arizona Tax Free, California Tax
     Free, Colorado Tax Free, Intermediate Tax Free, Minnesota Intermediate Tax
     Free and the Minnesota Tax Free Funds had outstanding when-issued
     commitments of $396,614, $391,780, $217,000, $2,665,149, $1,244,337 and
     $2,100,000 respectively.

     EXPENSES - Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are
     charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses are allocated to
     the Funds on the basis of relative net assets. Class specific expenses,
     such as the 12b-1 fees, are borne by that class. Income, other expenses,
     and realized and unrealized gains and losses of a Fund are allocated to the
     respective class on the basis of the relative net assets each day.

     USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The
     preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets and liabilities
     and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported results of operations during the
     reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3 >  FEES AND EXPENSES

     ADVISORY FEES - Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the
     "Agreement"), First American Asset Management (the "Advisor"), a division
     of U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), manages each Fund's assets
     and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel.
     The Agreement requires each Fund to pay the Advisor a monthly fee based
     upon average daily net assets. The fee for each of the FAIF Funds is equal
     to an annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net assets. The advisor
     intends to waive fees during the current fiscal year so that total fund
     operating expenses do not exceed expense limitations. Fee waivers may be
     discontinued at any time.

     The Funds may invest in First American Funds, Inc. ("FAF"), subject to
     certain limitations. The terms of such transactions are identical to those
     of non-related entities except that, to avoid duplicative investment
     advisory fees, the Advisor reimburses each FAIF Fund an amount equal to the
     investment advisory fee earned by FAF related to such investments.

     ADMINISTRATION FEES - SEI Investments Management Corporation ("SIMC")
     provided administrative services, including certain accounting, legal, and
     shareholder services to the First American Family of Funds from October 1,
     1999 through December 31, 1999. Effective January 1, 2000 U.S. Bank was
     appointed as the administrator and began providing administrative services
     to the First American Family of Funds. Under both arrangements, the Funds
     are charged an annual rate of 0.12% of each FAIF Fund's average daily net
     assets, with a minimum annual fee of $50,000. To the extent that aggregate
     net assets of the First American Family of Funds exceed $8 billion, the
     annual rate for each FAIF Fund is reduced to 0.105% of their relative share
     of excess net assets. Fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

     SUB-ADMINISTRATION FEES - U.S. Bank assisted SIMC and provided
     sub-administration services for the Funds from October 1, 1999 through
     December 31, 1999. For these services SIMC compensates U.S. Bank, as
     sub-administrator, monthly at an annual rate of up to 0.05% of each Fund's
     daily net assets. The fees for each Fund from October 1, 1999 through
     December 31, 1999 were approximately

     0.017% of average daily net assets. Under this arrangement, SIMC paid U.S.
     Bank $2,646,000 in aggregate for this three month period.

     Effective January 1, 2000, SIMC was appointed sub-administrator and began
     assisting U.S. Bank in providing sub-administration services for the Funds.
     For these services, U.S. Bank compensates SIMC monthly at an annual rate
     equal to 0.05% of aggregate average daily net assets of FAIF. In addition,
     SIMC also receives 0.015% on assets up to $34.5 billion, 0.0075% on the
     next $25.5 billion and 0.005% on assets over $60 billion for all Funds.
     There is a minimum $50,000 per Fund fee (the oldest 38 Funds are excluded).
     U.S. Bank paid SIMC $2,820,000 in aggregate from January 1, 2000 through
     March 31, 2000 for the First American Family of Funds. For the Funds
     included in this semi-annual report the amounts paid to U.S. Bank and SIMC
     for their respective periods were as follows (000):

     Fund's average daily net assets of the Class A shares and 1.00% of the
     Class C shares, respectively, which may be used by SIDCO to provide

6 >  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     The Intermediate Tax Free and Tax Free Funds invest in debt instruments of
     municipal issuers. Although these Funds monitor investment concentration,
     the issuers' ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic
     developments in a specific state or region.

     These Funds invest in securities that include revenue bonds, certificates
     of participation and general obligation bonds. At March 31, 2000, the
     percentage of portfolio investments by each revenue source was as follows:

     Pursuant to a commitment letter dated September 7, 1999, Citibank N.A.
     provides a revolving line of credit to FAIF for short term or emergency
     purposes. The loans are for the respective benefit of and repayable from
     the respective assets of each Fund. The aggregate principal amount of all
     borrowings may not exceed $100,000,000 and borrowings must be in the
     minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiple amounts of
     $1,000,000 for each Fund. At the Fund's option Citibank is paid either a
     base rate or the Federal Funds rate on the amount out on loan. There is a
     commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The commitment
     fee is calculated at 8.0 basis points on the unutilized portion of the

TRIBUTE TO DAVID T. BENNETT

    As friends and colleagues, the Board of Directors of First American Funds
    wishes to recognize David T. Bennett for the significant and lasting
    contributions he made as a Director of First American Funds. His services
    were cut short by his recent and untimely death following a 13 year battle
    with cancer.

    David was an attorney with the law firm of Gray, Plant, Mooty, Mooty &
    Bennett since graduating from law school in 1967. David was also a
    successful entrepreneur, owning controlling interests in Highland
    Manufacturing, Kiefer Built, and USL Products. He also devoted countless
    hours to numerous civic and charitable groups, including the Minneapolis
    Institute of Arts, the Guthrie Theater, the Nature Conservancy, and Dunwoody
    Institute.

    His association with the funds began in 1987, when he joined the Board of
    Directors of Piper Funds. First American Funds have been the beneficiary of
    David's experience, wisdom, and insight during challenging periods of change
    and growth. His knowledge of the industry and mutual fund board experience
    were invaluable during the critical transition period integrating the Piper
    and First American Fund Families. David's abilities were particularly
    appreciated by the Audit, Pricing, and Board Development Committees on which
    he served. The Directors with whom he served value greatly their time spent
    together.

    We gratefully and sincerely recognize David's contributions and extend our
    sincere condolences to David's family and friends.
