To Our Shareholders,
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a fund’s principal executive and financial officers to certify the entire contents of the semiannual and annual shareholder reports in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form N-CSR. This certification would cover the portfolio managers’ commentary and subjective opinions if they are attached to or a part of the financial statements. Many of these comments and opinions would be difficult or impossible to certify.
Because we do not want our portfolio managers to eliminate their opinions and/or restrict their commentary to historical facts, we have separated their commentary from the financial statements and investment portfolio and have sent it to you separately. Both the commentary and the financial statements, including the portfolio of investments, will be available on our website at www.gabelli.com.
Portfolio Holdings
On a monthly basis, The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund makes available a complete schedule of portfolio holdings. Shareholders may obtain this information at www.gabelli.com, by calling the Fund at 800-GABELLI (800-422-3554), or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited) | | |
For the Six Month Period from April 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016 | | Expense Table |
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees and expenses regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a 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 a fund. When 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 Expense Table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return: This section provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this section to help you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period after any fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return during the past six months, and the “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use this information, 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” to estimate the expenses you paid during this period.
Hypothetical 5% Return: This section provides information about hypothetical account values and
hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio. It assumes a hypothetical annualized return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case – because the hypothetical return used is not the Fund’s actual return – the results do not apply to your investment and you cannot use the hypothetical account value and expense to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. This example is useful in making comparisons of the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees, if any, which are described in the Prospectus. If these costs were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Therefore, the 5% hypothetical return is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the last six months and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the year ended September 30, 2016.

The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization. The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, a series of The Gabelli Money Market Funds (the “Trust”), was organized on May 21, 1992 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s primary objective is high current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. The Fund commenced investment operations on October 1, 1992.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. As an investment company, the Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that may require the use of management estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation. The Fund values securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation method which approximates market value and is permitted under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter adjusting for amortization of premium or accretion of discount to maturity.
The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
| ● | | 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.); and |
| ● | | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Board’s determinations as to the fair value of investments). |
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in the aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of the Fund’s investments in securities by inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2016 is as follows:
| | | | |
Valuation Inputs* | | Investments in Securities (Market Value) Assets | |
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | | $ | 1,737,698,443 | |
* | Level 2 holdings consist of U.S. Government Obligations. |
The Fund held only Level 2 investments during the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers among Levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.
On July 23, 2014, the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission adopted amendments to money market fund regulations which structurally change the way that certain money market funds will be required to operate. The compliance period for amendments ranges between July 2015 and October 2016. Since the Fund invests only in U.S. Treasury securities, it will continue to transact at a stable $1.00 share price.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date with realized gain/(loss) on investments determined by using the identified cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on long term debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method.
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from investment income (including net short term realized capital gains) are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net long term capital gains, if any, are paid annually. Book/tax differences of distributions are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the period when the differences arise. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Fund. For the year ended September 30, 2016, reclassifications were made to decrease distributions in excess of net investment income by $26,016 and increase distributions in excess of net realized gain by $26,016.
For the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the tax character of distributions was all ordinary income.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
At September 30, 2016, the components of accumulated earnings/losses on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income (inclusive of short term capital gains) | | $ | 17,837 | |
Qualified late year losses deferred | | | (38,730 | ) |
Current year dividends payable | | | (20,284 | ) |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | (41,177 | ) |
| | | | |
The following summarizes the tax cost of investments and the related net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) at September 30, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Cost | | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) |
Investments | | $ | 1,737,698,443 | | | $— | | $— | | $— |
The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Fund as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. For the year ended September 30, 2016, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of September 30, 2016, Gabelli Funds, LLC (the “Manager”) has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Fund’s net assets or results of operations. The Fund’s federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open, subject to examination. On an ongoing basis, the Manager will monitor the Fund’s tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.
3. Line of Credit. The Fund participates in an unsecured line of credit, which expires on March 9, 2017 and may be renewed annually, of up to $75,000,000 under which it may borrow up to 10% of its net assets from the custodian for temporary borrowing purposes. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at a floating

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
rate equal to the higher of the overnight Federal Funds rate plus 125 basis points or the 30 day LIBOR plus 125 basis points in effect on that day. This amount, if any, would be included in “Interest expense” in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2016, there were no borrowings under the line of credit.
4. Shares of Beneficial Interest. The Fund offers three classes of shares - Class AAA Shares, Class A Shares, and Class C Shares. Class A Shares and Class C Shares are offered only as an exchange option for shareholders holding Class A or Class C Shares of other funds within the Gabelli/GAMCO Fund complex. Class A Shares and Class C Shares are not available for direct investment by shareholders.
5. Agreements with Affiliated Parties. The Trust has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Manager, which provides that the Trust will pay the Manager a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.08% of the value of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In accordance with the Management Agreement, the Manager provides a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio, oversees the administration of all aspects of the Fund’s business and affairs, and pays the compensation of all Officers and Trustees of the Fund who are affiliated persons of the Manager. Through January 31, 2017, to the extent necessary, the Manager has contractually undertaken to assume certain expenses (excluding interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses), of the Fund so that the total expenses do not exceed 0.08% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Manager may voluntarily reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to assist the Fund in attempting to prevent a negative yield.
G.distributors, LLC, an affiliate of the Manager, retained $11,641 from investors on redemptions of shares that were exchanged into the Fund from other funds in the Gabelli/GAMCO Fund complex.
The Fund pays each Trustee who is not considered an affiliated person an annual retainer of $3,000 plus $500 for each Board of Trustees (the “Board”) meeting attended. Each Trustee is reimbursed by the Fund for any out of pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings. All Board committee members receive $500 per meeting attended and the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Lead Trustee each receives an annual fee of $1,000. A Trustee may receive a single meeting fee, allocated among the participating funds, for participation in certain meetings held on behalf of multiple funds. Trustees who are directors or employees of the Manager or an affiliated company receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Fund.
6. Significant Shareholder. As of September 30, 2016, 68.1% of the Fund was beneficially owned by the Manager and its affiliates, including managed accounts for which the affiliates of the Manager have voting control but disclaim pecuniary interest.
7. Indemnifications. The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
8. Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated the impact on the Fund of all subsequent events occurring through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Gabelli Money Market Funds, as of September 30, 2016, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in 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. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2016, by correspondence with the Fund’s custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, a series of The Gabelli Money Market Funds, at September 30, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

2016 TAX NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (Unaudited) For the year ended September 30, 2016, the Fund designates 100% of the ordinary income distribution as qualified interest income and as qualified short term capital gain, pursuant to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. U.S. Government Income: The percentage of the ordinary income distribution paid by the Fund during the year ended September 30, 2016 which was derived from U.S. Treasury securities was 99.02%. Such income is exempt from state and local tax in all states. However, many states, including New York and California, allow a tax exemption for a portion of the income earned only if a mutual fund has invested at least 50% of its assets at the end of each quarter of the Fund’s fiscal year in U.S. Government securities. The Gabelli U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund met this strict requirement in the year ended September 30, 2016. Due to the diversity in state and local tax law, it is recommended that you consult your personal tax adviser as to the applicability of the information provided to your specific situation. |

All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly, are subject to change. For each item, it is the intention of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder. |

| (e)(1) | Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee (“Committee”) of the registrant is responsible for pre-approving (i) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the registrant and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Adviser, Gabelli Funds, LLC, and any affiliate of Gabelli Funds, LLC (“Gabelli”) that provides services to the registrant (a “Covered Services Provider”) if the independent registered public accounting firm’s engagement related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to the Chairperson of the Committee, and the Chairperson must report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the Chairperson’s pre-approval of such services, his or her decision(s). The Committee may also establish detailed pre-approval policies and procedures for pre-approval of such services in accordance with applicable laws, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to the other persons (other than Gabelli or the registrant’s officers). Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (ii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee or Chairperson prior to the completion of the audit.
| (e)(2) | The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are as follows: |

(c) 100%
(d) 100%
| (f) | The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was 0%. |
| (g) | The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant was $37,638 in 2015 and $35,321 in 2016. |
| (h) | The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
