President’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

In December 2008, the Federal Reserve cut its target for short-term interest rates to a range of 0.0%–0.25%, the lowest level on record. These extremely low rates weighed on money market yields, resulting in lower returns for all three Vanguard Money Market Funds.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, the funds’ total returns ranged from 0.70% for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund to 1.47% for the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares. Each fund surpassed the average return of its respective peer group.

In response to the challenging yield environment, Vanguard took several steps to protect shareholders’ interests. In early August, we merged the Treasury Money Market Fund into the lower-cost Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund. As our fiscal year ended, both the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund and the Federal Money Market Fund were closed to new investors. These actions were taken to protect current shareholders and to help ensure that the funds’ yields remain competitive.

Among bond investors, safety and yield traded places

The 12 months ended August 31 spanned two strikingly different half-years. The period began with the September collapse of a major investment bank and the government-engineered rescue of several giant financial institutions. Investors were also shaken in September by news that a prominent money market mutual fund, the Reserve Primary Fund, could no longer maintain a $1 share price. As credit markets deteriorated, investors rushed to the relative safety and liquidity of U.S. Treasury securities, driving their prices up and yields down.

Investors were so risk-averse that short-term Treasury yields briefly turned negative. November and December were among the ten best months ever for Treasury bond returns (adjusted for inflation). Corporate bonds, especially those of lower credit quality, struggled, and their yield spreads above comparable Treasuries widened to near-historic levels during the first six months.

Several moves by the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury—including a temporary program to guarantee the assets of money market investors under specified conditions—helped credit markets to attain some stability by

the spring. In a dramatic reversal, investors regained their appetite for risk, favoring corporate bonds over Treasuries.

After all the ups and downs, Treasuries and high-yield corporate bonds produced similar 12-month returns of about 6%–7%. Overall, the broad U.S. taxable bond market returned about 8%. Tax-exempt municipal bonds, after a flat first half, returned more than 5% for the fiscal year.

Stocks sank, then soared as credit and economy stabilized

The U.S. stock market also performed a U-turn during the year. Stocks sank as the ensuing crisis spread from Wall Street to Main Street and around the globe. Stricken by seized-up credit markets and a near-total lack of confidence, businesses and consumers put the brakes on economic growth.

Governments in the United States and abroad responded with unprecedented stimulus and other programs. Over the past six months, these efforts started to take hold. Credit-market conditions improved, and the outlook for the U.S. economy brightened. From their early-March lows, stocks took off on an almost-unbroken winning streak.

Even so, the broad U.S. stock market ended the 12 months in negative territory, with a return of about –18%. International markets performed somewhat better, as

major European economies emerged from recession; the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA returned about –14%.

Despite the robust second-half rally, it may be premature to sound the all-clear signal. As the fiscal year came to a close, home foreclosures and the unemployment rate were rising, and the federal government’s list of problem banks had climbed above 400—the most since June 1994. There is considerable historical evidence that recovery from a recession caused by a financial crisis tends to take longer than average.

Coping with record-low rates, the funds performed well

When the Federal Reserve slashed short-term interest rates to record lows, it caused money market yields to plummet. Low rates, combined with turmoil in the short-term debt markets, meant that some higher-cost and riskier funds struggled to maintain the share price of $1.

In this environment, the Vanguard Money Market Funds were well served by their customary emphasis on the highest-quality securities and by the prescient judgments of the investment advisor—

Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group—about some of the risks percolating in the money markets. Each fund’s share price remained solidly at $1, as is expected but not guaranteed.

Still, the funds were not immune to the challenges presented by extremely low interest rates for short-term securities. During the 12-month period, each of the funds’ yields fell significantly. Nonetheless, each managed to return more than the average for its peer group. The funds’ competitive advantages reflected prudent portfolio management, exceptional credit standards, and our customarily low costs.

The Prime Money Market Fund was the top performer of the group, returning 1.31% for Investor Shares and 1.47% for Institutional Shares. The Federal Money Market Fund returned 1.06%, while the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund posted a return of 0.70%. The variation in the funds’ performance largely reflects their different levels of exposure to U.S. Treasury and agency securities, whose yields were driven lowest during the fiscal year.

The table on page 4 compares the expense ratios of our funds with the average costs of their peers. The table below shows the change in yield over the year for each fund.

initially set up a temporary money market guarantee program, which our funds took part in. With the guarantee program ending on September 19, it’s only logical for investors to wonder what the future will be like for money market funds.

In response to these concerns, the fund industry has proposed new ideas for fine-tuning risk control and strengthening reporting requirements for money market funds. Vanguard’s own funds already meet or exceed the proposed standards, but we are always pleased by broad actions in support of investors’ interests. The advisor’s letter included in this report discusses the anticipated changes in more detail.

Our funds did well in this extremely difficult period, and their long-term performance also remains impressive in comparison with the average returns of peers, as you can see in the table on page 5. The funds’ solid ten-year returns are the product of several factors, including an emphasis on high-quality securities, skilled portfolio management by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group, and the funds’ exceptionally low operating costs.

In all market conditions, costs and quality are key

Over the past 12 months, investors have experienced one of the toughest economic periods since the 1930s. Even as turmoil in the stock and bond markets has unnerved those investing in riskier assets, record-low interest rates and a steep decline in yields have left money market shareholders frustrated.

However, disruptions in the market and fluctuations in short-term interest rates can be expected to happen periodically. To help prepare for such volatility, it’s important to pay attention to how your investment is managed and how much you are paying in expenses. A well-managed money market fund is designed to deliver stability, liquidity, and yield—in that order. A failure to respect those priorities can put these critical savings vehicles at risk, as some money market fund providers learned in late 2008.

We believe that Vanguard’s Money Market Funds—with their rock-bottom expense ratios and strict dedication to quality—are good vehicles for your short-term investment needs.

As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report

For the 12 months ended August 31, 2009, the three Vanguard Money Market Funds produced returns ranging from 0.70% for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund to 1.47% for the Institutional Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund.

The investment environment

On Monday, September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for bankruptcy. The next day, the $62 billion Reserve Primary Fund—still carrying a $785 million position in Lehman commercial paper—“broke the buck,” when its per-share value dropped below $1. In the days that followed, the U.S. Treasury Department announced a temporary program to insure investors’ holdings in eligible money market funds. Although we had no concerns about the stability of the Vanguard Money Market Funds, we agreed to participate in this program, reasoning that a coordinated effort to support short-term debt markets would benefit our own shareholders.

The market had been volatile in the months leading up to Lehman’s bankruptcy amid increasing concerns over structured investment vehicles, auction rate securities, and Bear Stearns. These events led us to take defensive measures by allocating a large portion of the Prime Money Market Fund’s assets into less-volatile Treasury and agency securities.

The management of the funds

Since December 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board has kept its target for the federal funds rate, the key benchmark for short-term debt securities, at a range of 0% to 0.25%. This historically low level has presented a challenge to all money market funds, including Vanguard’s.

We have been managing our money market portfolios to the longest average maturity allowed, which lets us take advantage of the steepness in the money market yield curve. The Federal Reserve has made it clear that they intend to keep rates on hold for an “extended period,” so we consider this positioning an effective strategy to enhance shareholder returns.

Our credit analysts, who did an outstanding job protecting the funds throughout the crisis, have been adding issuers to our approved list as market conditions continue to improve, expanding our selection of investment options. A number of these issuers weathered the storm or received government support, allowing our analysts to remove previous restrictions.

In early August, we merged the Treasury Money Market Fund into the lower-cost Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, which remains closed to new investors. The Federal Money Market Fund also remains closed to new investors. The yields of both funds have come under

severe pressure during this period of exceptionally low interest rates. We took these actions to limit new investments that would force us to buy lower-yielding securities, which would in turn dilute the yields for existing shareholders.

The investment outlook

Money market funds have been through their toughest period ever. Given the circumstances, regulatory changes are inevitable and certainly warranted. The mutual fund industry has proposed ways to fine-tune risk control and strengthen reporting standards for money market funds. Recommendations from an Investment Company Institute (ICI) panel led by Vanguard Chairman Jack Brennan, which were quickly adopted by Vanguard, included:

• Mandating daily and weekly liquidity requirements.

• Lowering the maximum average maturity of fund holdings from 90 to 75 days.

• Raising quality standards even higher.

• Enhancing disclosures to investors.

• Requiring funds to adopt “know your client” procedures, so that they will be better prepared for periods when redemptions surge.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also been actively working to create new rules and regulations to strengthen the regulatory framework and make money market funds more resilient to widespread disruptions. However, even if no regulatory changes were made, Vanguard would be comfortable that our longstanding emphasis on the highest-quality securities, prudent portfolio management, and strict risk controls can help ensure the stability of our money market funds.

Proposal 2—Update and standardize the funds’ fundamental policies regarding:
(a) Purchasing and selling real estate.
(b) Issuing senior securities.
(c) Borrowing money.
(d) Making loans.
(e) Purchasing and selling commodities.
(f) Concentrating investments in a particular industry or group of industries.
(g) Eliminating outdated fundamental investment policies not required by law.

The revised fundamental policies are clearly stated and simple, yet comprehensive, making oversight and compliance more efficient than under the former policies. The revised fundamental policies will allow the funds to respond more quickly to regulatory and market changes, while avoiding the costs and delays associated with successive shareholder meetings.

Fund shareholders did not approve this proposal:

Proposal 3—Institute procedures to prevent holding investments in companies that, in the judgment of the board, substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity, the most egregious violations of human rights.

The trustees recommended a vote against the proposal because it called for procedures that duplicate existing practices and procedures of the Vanguard funds.

Performance Summary

Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/performance.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Prime Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments of companies primarily operating in specific industries, particularly financial services; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in such industries. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.

5. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses), shareholder reporting, and proxies. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $25,612,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 10.24% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

28


Prime Money Market Fund

Level 1 —Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 —Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 —Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The fund’s investment in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund is valued based on Level 1 inputs. All of the fund’s other investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

D. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

E. On October 7, 2008, the board of trustees approved the fund’s participation in a temporary program introduced by the U.S. Treasury to guarantee the account values of shareholders in a money market fund in the event the fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995 and the fund’s trustees decide to liquidate the fund. The program covers the lesser of a shareholder’s account value on September 19, 2008, or on the date of liquidation. To participate, the fund was required to pay a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008, for coverage through December 18, 2008. In December 2008, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through April 30, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. In March 2009, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through September 18, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008.

F. In preparing the financial statements as of August 31, 2009, management considered the impact of subsequent events occurring through October 15, 2009, for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Performance Summary

Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/performance.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Federal Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such instruments.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.

5. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $2,243,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.90% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1 —Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 —Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 —Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At August 31, 2009, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

D. On October 7, 2008, the board of trustees approved the fund’s participation in a temporary program introduced by the U.S. Treasury to guarantee the account values of shareholders in a money market fund in the event the fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995 and the fund’s trustees decide to liquidate the fund. The program covers the lesser of a shareholder’s account value on September 19, 2008, or on the date of liquidation. To participate, the fund was required to pay a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008, for coverage through December 18, 2008. In December 2008, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through April 30, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. In March 2009, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through September 18, 2009. The fund’s trustees elected to discontinue the fund’s participation in the program effective April 30, 2009.

E. In preparing the financial statements as of August 31, 2009, management considered the impact of subsequent events occurring through October 15, 2009, for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Performance Summary

Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/performance.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

3. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.

4. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $5,839,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 2.34% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1 —Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 —Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 —Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At August 31, 2009, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

D. On October 7, 2008, the board of trustees approved the fund’s participation in a temporary program introduced by the U.S. Treasury to guarantee the account values of shareholders in a money market fund in the event the fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995 and the fund’s trustees decide to liquidate the fund. The program covers the lesser of a shareholder’s account value on September 19, 2008, or on the date of liquidation. To participate, the fund was required to pay a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008, for coverage through December 18, 2008. In December 2008, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through April 30, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. In March 2009, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through September 18, 2009. The fund’s trustees elected to discontinue the fund’s participation in the program effective April 30, 2009.

E. Effective August 11, 2009, the fund acquired all the net assets of Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the fund’s board of trustees. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of one share of the fund for each share of the Treasury Money Market Fund outstanding on August 11, 2009. The Treasury Money Market Fund’s net assets on August 11, 2009, were $6,138,800,000. The net assets of the fund immediately before the acquisition were $19,955,141,000. The net assets of the fund immediately following the acquisition were $26,093,941,000.

F. In preparing the financial statements as of August 31, 2009, management considered the impact of subsequent events occurring through October 15, 2009, for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Money Market Reserves and Vanguard Admiral Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Funds”) at August 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records for Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.

A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the account service fee described in the prospectus (the fee does not apply to the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares or the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund). If such a fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.28% for Investor Shares and 0.13% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.27%; for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.16%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Federal Money Market Fund, and Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor to the funds. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. The trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board considered the quality of the funds’ investment management over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

The board concluded that Vanguard’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.

Investment performance

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of relevant benchmarks and peer groups. The board concluded that the funds have performed in line with expectations, and that their results have been consistent with their investment policies. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary pages of this report.

Cost

The board concluded that the funds’ expense ratios were well below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their respective peer groups and that the funds’ advisory expense ratios were also well below their peer-group averages. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report.

The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard, because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that the funds’ low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary

Average Quality. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the ratings assigned to a fund’s fixed income holdings by credit-rating agencies. The agencies make their judgment after appraising an issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. Quality is graded on a scale, with Aaa or AAA indicating the most creditworthy bond issuers. U.S. Treasury securities are considered to have the highest credit quality.

Average Weighted Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security.

Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

Yield. A money market fund’s 7-day SEC yield is calculated by annualizing its income distributions for the previous seven days, as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The People Who Govern Your Fund

The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 157 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information , which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at www.vanguard.com.
