Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Allspring 100% Treasury Money Market Fund for the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023. Globally, stocks and bonds experienced heightened volatility and historically poor performance through the challenging period. Earlier tailwinds provided by global stimulus programs, vaccination rollouts, and recovering consumer and corporate sentiment were wiped away by the highest rate of inflation in four decades as well as the impact of ongoing aggressive central bank rate hikes and the prospect of more rate hikes. Compounding these concerns were the global reverberations of the Russia-Ukraine war and the impact of China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
For the 12-month period, stocks and bonds––both domestic U.S. and global––suffered losses. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 returned -8.22%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned -5.72%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net) (USD)3 had weaker performance, with a decline of 12.12%. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 returned -8.36%, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 returned -14.18%, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index6 declined 3.25%, and the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index7 fell 5.08%.
The Russia-Ukraine war, high inflation, and central bank rate hikes rocked markets.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine dominated the financial world in February and March. Equity, bond, and commodities markets were shaken by fear, uncertainty, and an upending of demand-supply dynamics. Major global stock indexes were down in February, along with global bonds overall, with heightened volatility in March and mixed results that favored U.S. large-cap stocks. Prices of commodities spiked, including crude oil, natural gas, wheat, and precious metals, on elevated concerns of supply shortages. All of this fueled inflation concerns and added to expectations of more aggressive central bank interest rate hikes. Sweeping sanctions against Russia and corporate pullouts contributed to market volatility. Despite the geopolitical turmoil, the U.S. economic outlook remained largely unchanged, with a healthy job market and signs of economic resilience accompanying higher prices.
In April, market volatility continued, with deepening losses across major capital markets, as both the S&P 500 and MSCI ACWI (Net)8 fell 8% or more for the month. The Chinese economy struggled through a strict lockdown as the government tried to contain a major COVID-19 outbreak. The ensuing global ripple effect compounded existing supply shortages. This was exacerbated by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on global commodities. Meanwhile, U.S. annual inflation raged at 8.5%, its highest level since 1981, and investors braced themselves for aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary tightening moves.

Market volatility continued in May, although markets recovered ground late in the month. Value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. The concerns that had dominated markets for months continued, including high inflation and geopolitical tensions that added to high crude oil, gasoline, and food prices. In response, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.50%, with widescale expectations of more rate hikes. Meanwhile, highly contagious COVID-19 variants persisted. However, labor markets in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe remained strong. U.S. retail sales for April, released in May, indicated a fourth consecutive monthly increase, reflecting continued consumer resilience.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation. The Fed raised its short-term rate by another 0.75% in June. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate held firm at 3.6% and the housing market remained only marginally affected by sharply higher mortgage rates.
Markets rebounded in July, led by U.S. stocks. While evidence began to point to an economic slowdown after two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product (economic contraction), the U.S. labor market remained surprisingly robust: July nonfarm payrolls grew by more than 500,000 and U.S. unemployment dipped to 3.5%. Meanwhile, crude oil and retail gasoline prices, major contributors to recent overall inflation, fell substantially from earlier highs. And while U.S. home prices rose, home sales fell as houses became less affordable with mortgage rates at a 13-year high. The Fed raised the federal funds rate another 0.75% in July—to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%—and forecasts pointed to further rate hikes.
August was yet another broadly challenging month for financial markets, with more red ink flowing. High inflation persisted, cresting 9% in the eurozone on an annual basis and remaining above 8% in the U.S. despite the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy and a major drop in global crude oil and gasoline prices from their June peak. One positive note was the resilience of the U.S. job market. However, the Fed’s job was clearly not complete. One longer-term bright spot was the U.S. Congress’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.  Its primary stated goals include: to reduce inflation (though not immediately) by curbing the deficit, capping health care spending by seniors, and investing in domestic sources of clean energy.
The market misery continued in September. There was nowhere to hide as all asset classes suffered major losses at the hands of persistent inflation. Central banks kept up their battle against rapidly rising prices with more rate hikes. The strength of the U.S. dollar made things even more difficult for investors holding assets in other currencies. U.S. mortgage rates jumped to near 7% on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages; the decreased housing affordability began to cool demand somewhat. The U.K. experienced a sharp sell-off of government bonds and the British pound in September as investors panicked in response to a new government budget that was seen as financially unsound. The market meltdown forced the Bank of England to step in and buy long-dated government bonds.
Equities had a reprieve in October after two months of sharp declines. Value stocks and small caps fared best. Globally, developed markets outpaced emerging market equities, which were hurt by weakness among Chinese stocks. Central banks continued to try to curtail high inflation with aggressive interest rate hikes. Geopolitical risks persisted, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and economic, financial market, and political turmoil in the U.K., which led to a second prime ministerial change in six weeks, as Rishi Sunak replaced Liz Truss in late October. Concerns over Europe’s energy crisis eased thanks to unseasonably warm weather and plentiful gas on hand. The U.S. labor market continued its resilience against rising prices, as unemployment stood at 3.7%, near a record low.
Stocks and bonds rallied in November, with emerging market equities gaining nearly 15% and developed market equities returning 7%. The S&P 500 Index rose 5.6% in November. Bonds also had positive monthly returns. Economic news was encouraging, driven by U.S. labor market strength. Although central banks kept raising rates, hopes rose for an easing in the pace of rate hikes and a possible end to central bank monetary tightening in 2023. Although inflation remained at record highs in the eurozone, we began to see signs of a possible decline in inflationary pressures as U.S. inflation moderated, with a 7.1% annual price rise in November and a monthly price increase of just 0.1%. China’s economic data remained weak, reflecting its zero-COVID-19 policy.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation.

Financial markets cooled in December, with U.S. equities posting negative overall results in response to a weakening U.S. dollar. Fixed income securities ended one of their worst years ever with flat overall monthly returns as markets weighed the hopes for an end to the monetary tightening cycle with the reality that central banks had not completed their jobs yet. U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 data showed a strong consistent trend downward, which brought down the 12-month CPI to 6.5% in December from 9.1% in June. Other countries and regions reported still-high but declining inflation rates as the year winded down.
The year 2023 began with a broad rally across global equities and fixed income securities. Investor optimism rose in response to data indicating declining inflation rates and the reopening of China’s economy with the abrupt end to its zero-COVID-19 policy. The U.S. reported surprisingly strong job gains––employers added more than 500,000 jobs––and unemployment fell to 3.4%, the lowest level since 1969. Meanwhile, wage growth, seen as a potential contributor to ongoing high inflation, continued to moderate. All eyes remained fixed on the Fed and on how many additional rate hikes it will announce before reaching the peak (“terminal”) rate, expected to be above 5%. The 0.25% federal funds rate hike announced in January was the Fed’s smallest rate increase since March 2022.

MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
The fiscal year that ended January 31, 2023, saw a sea change in the interest rate environment as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised rates 4.25% over the period, taking its target range for the effective federal funds rate from 0.00% to 0.25% at the beginning of the year to 4.25% to 4.50% at the end. The Fed also stopped buying Treasury and mortgage-backed securities as part of its quantitative easing program in March 2022. It also began to allow the securities in its portfolio to mature without reinvestment—which shrinks its balance sheet and thus tightens monetary conditions and is known as quantitative tightening—beginning in June. In summary, the period began with the Fed in a very accommodative monetary policy stance and ended with it having rapidly removed accommodation throughout the year.
Portfolio composition as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
The Fed changed its approach because the economy evolved in ways that affected its mandates. Where previously the Fed was attempting to aid the economy to improve employment, and in the belief that pandemic-era price increases would prove to be transitory, the Fed realized that it needed to abruptly change its stance when labor markets remained stubbornly strong and prices throughout the economy continued to rise at a pace not seen for decades. The unemployment rate began the fiscal year at 4.0%, down from its pandemic peak of 14.8% in April 2020, and fell to 3.4% by fiscal year-end. After beginning the fiscal year at 6.0%—a multi-decade high—the PCE Price Index,* the Fed’s preferred price measure, ended the fiscal year only marginally lower at 5%, still far above its target of 2%. By tightening monetary policy, the Fed intends to slow the economy, weaken the labor market, and weaken demand sufficiently to reduce inflation.
Effective maturity distribution as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
Interest rates on all categories of government money market securities increased nearly in lockstep with the Fed’s interest rate increases. For example, 3-month Treasury bills (T-bills) yielded 0.18% at the beginning of the fiscal year before rising to 4.66% at fiscal year-end. Similarly, 6-month T-bills yielded 0.45% and 4.78% at the beginning and end of the fiscal year, respectively.
Our investment strategy remained consistent. We invested in T-bills and U.S. Treasury notes—including floating-rate notes—while taking into account the Fund’s overall level of liquidity and average maturity and seeking to maintain a stable $1.00 net asset value.
Strategic outlook
The Fed’s rapid interest rate increases in 2022 are an indication of how far inflation has risen above its target. Because it had let interest rates stay near zero for too long, the Fed needed to raise rates more aggressively than it or market participants had expected. Interest rate changes are thought to affect the economy on a delayed basis, so the impact of the recent increases has likely not yet been fully seen. As a result, there is significant uncertainty about the direction of the economy and the outlook for interest rates in the upcoming fiscal year. It is possible the significant interest rate increases over the past year will materially slow the economy, perhaps spurring a recession, and bring inflation back down nearer to its target of 2%. In that event, interest rates may not rise much higher and they may fall later in the year. On the other hand, the tight labor market and rising wages may cause inflation to remain stubbornly high, leading the Fed to continue to raise rates, albeit at a

slower pace, and to keep rates elevated for longer. The Fed has so far indicated in its recent actions and communications that it intends to slow the pace of its interest rate hikes to allow time to evaluate the impact of last year’s actions on the economy. Beyond that, the economy’s evolution will determine the Fed’s path.
Weighted average maturity as of January 31, 20231
41 days
1 Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
    
Weighted average life as of January 31, 20231
83 days
1 Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs including management fees, shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. 
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare 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 the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, LLC ("Allspring Funds Management"), which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Management's process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund's commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are valued using amortized cost which approximates market value and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund's fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund's distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax

20  |  Government Money Market Funds


Notes to financial statements
positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of January 31, 2023, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common fund-level expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
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 in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2023:
  Quoted prices
(Level 1)
Other significant
observable inputs
(Level 2)

For the year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.

Allspring Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Allspring Funds Management. Allspring Global Investments, LLC, an affiliate of Allspring Funds Management and a wholly owned subsidiary of Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Allspring Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Allspring Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers.

Administrator Class 0.10
Institutional Class 0.08
Service Class 0.12
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed to waive and/or reimburse management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund.  When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Allspring Funds Management will waive fees and/or reimburse expenses from fund-level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses.  When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses.  Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed through May 31, 2023 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap expenses.  Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. In addition to the contractual waivers and/or reimbursements, Allspring Funds Management also voluntarily waived certain fund-level and/or class-level expenses during the year ended January 31, 2023 in order to maintain a positive yield.  These voluntary fund-level and/or class-level waivers may be discontinued at any time.  As of January 31, 2023, the contractual expense caps are as follows:
  Expense ratio caps
Class A 0.60%
Administrator Class 0.30
Institutional Class 0.20
Service Class 0.50
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A and Service Class are charged a fee at an annual rate up to 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate up to 0.10% of its average daily net assets. A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.

6. MARKET RISKS
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, the funds, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may last for an extended period of time. COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund's organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Trustees
Allspring Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Allspring 100% Treasury Money Market Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Allspring Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies; however, we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Andrew Owen
President
Allspring Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Allspring Government Money Market Fund for the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023. Globally, stocks and bonds experienced heightened volatility and historically poor performance through the challenging period. Earlier tailwinds provided by global stimulus programs, vaccination rollouts, and recovering consumer and corporate sentiment were wiped away by the highest rate of inflation in four decades as well as the impact of ongoing aggressive central bank rate hikes and the prospect of more rate hikes. Compounding these concerns were the global reverberations of the Russia-Ukraine war and the impact of China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
For the 12-month period, stocks and bonds––both domestic U.S. and global––suffered losses. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 returned -8.22%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned -5.72%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net) (USD)3 had weaker performance, with a decline of 12.12%. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 returned -8.36%, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 returned -14.18%, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index6 declined 3.25%, and the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index7 fell 5.08%.
The Russia-Ukraine war, high inflation, and central bank rate hikes rocked markets.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine dominated the financial world in February and March. Equity, bond, and commodities markets were shaken by fear, uncertainty, and an upending of demand-supply dynamics. Major global stock indexes were down in February, along with global bonds overall, with heightened volatility in March and mixed results that favored U.S. large-cap stocks. Prices of commodities spiked, including crude oil, natural gas, wheat, and precious metals, on elevated concerns of supply shortages. All of this fueled inflation concerns and added to expectations of more aggressive central bank interest rate hikes. Sweeping sanctions against Russia and corporate pullouts contributed to market volatility. Despite the geopolitical turmoil, the U.S. economic outlook remained largely unchanged, with a healthy job market and signs of economic resilience accompanying higher prices.
In April, market volatility continued, with deepening losses across major capital markets, as both the S&P 500 and MSCI ACWI (Net)8 fell 8% or more for the month. The Chinese economy struggled through a strict lockdown as the government tried to contain a major COVID-19 outbreak. The ensuing global ripple effect compounded existing supply shortages. This was exacerbated by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on global commodities. Meanwhile, U.S. annual inflation raged at 8.5%, its highest level since 1981, and investors braced themselves for aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary tightening moves.

Market volatility continued in May, although markets recovered ground late in the month. Value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. The concerns that had dominated markets for months continued, including high inflation and geopolitical tensions that added to high crude oil, gasoline, and food prices. In response, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.50%, with widescale expectations of more rate hikes. Meanwhile, highly contagious COVID-19 variants persisted. However, labor markets in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe remained strong. U.S. retail sales for April, released in May, indicated a fourth consecutive monthly increase, reflecting continued consumer resilience.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation. The Fed raised its short-term rate by another 0.75% in June. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate held firm at 3.6% and the housing market remained only marginally affected by sharply higher mortgage rates.
Markets rebounded in July, led by U.S. stocks. While evidence began to point to an economic slowdown after two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product (economic contraction), the U.S. labor market remained surprisingly robust: July nonfarm payrolls grew by more than 500,000 and U.S. unemployment dipped to 3.5%. Meanwhile, crude oil and retail gasoline prices, major contributors to recent overall inflation, fell substantially from earlier highs. And while U.S. home prices rose, home sales fell as houses became less affordable with mortgage rates at a 13-year high. The Fed raised the federal funds rate another 0.75% in July—to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%—and forecasts pointed to further rate hikes.
August was yet another broadly challenging month for financial markets, with more red ink flowing. High inflation persisted, cresting 9% in the eurozone on an annual basis and remaining above 8% in the U.S. despite the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy and a major drop in global crude oil and gasoline prices from their June peak. One positive note was the resilience of the U.S. job market. However, the Fed’s job was clearly not complete. One longer-term bright spot was the U.S. Congress’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.  Its primary stated goals include: to reduce inflation (though not immediately) by curbing the deficit, capping health care spending by seniors, and investing in domestic sources of clean energy.
The market misery continued in September. There was nowhere to hide as all asset classes suffered major losses at the hands of persistent inflation. Central banks kept up their battle against rapidly rising prices with more rate hikes. The strength of the U.S. dollar made things even more difficult for investors holding assets in other currencies. U.S. mortgage rates jumped to near 7% on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages; the decreased housing affordability began to cool demand somewhat. The U.K. experienced a sharp sell-off of government bonds and the British pound in September as investors panicked in response to a new government budget that was seen as financially unsound. The market meltdown forced the Bank of England to step in and buy long-dated government bonds.
Equities had a reprieve in October after two months of sharp declines. Value stocks and small caps fared best. Globally, developed markets outpaced emerging market equities, which were hurt by weakness among Chinese stocks. Central banks continued to try to curtail high inflation with aggressive interest rate hikes. Geopolitical risks persisted, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and economic, financial market, and political turmoil in the U.K., which led to a second prime ministerial change in six weeks, as Rishi Sunak replaced Liz Truss in late October. Concerns over Europe’s energy crisis eased thanks to unseasonably warm weather and plentiful gas on hand. The U.S. labor market continued its resilience against rising prices, as unemployment stood at 3.7%, near a record low.
Stocks and bonds rallied in November, with emerging market equities gaining nearly 15% and developed market equities returning 7%. The S&P 500 Index rose 5.6% in November. Bonds also had positive monthly returns. Economic news was encouraging, driven by U.S. labor market strength. Although central banks kept raising rates, hopes rose for an easing in the pace of rate hikes and a possible end to central bank monetary tightening in 2023. Although inflation remained at record highs in the eurozone, we began to see signs of a possible decline in inflationary pressures as U.S. inflation moderated, with a 7.1% annual price rise in November and a monthly price increase of just 0.1%. China’s economic data remained weak, reflecting its zero-COVID-19 policy.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation.

Financial markets cooled in December, with U.S. equities posting negative overall results in response to a weakening U.S. dollar. Fixed income securities ended one of their worst years ever with flat overall monthly returns as markets weighed the hopes for an end to the monetary tightening cycle with the reality that central banks had not completed their jobs yet. U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 data showed a strong consistent trend downward, which brought down the 12-month CPI to 6.5% in December from 9.1% in June. Other countries and regions reported still-high but declining inflation rates as the year winded down.
The year 2023 began with a broad rally across global equities and fixed income securities. Investor optimism rose in response to data indicating declining inflation rates and the reopening of China’s economy with the abrupt end to its zero-COVID-19 policy. The U.S. reported surprisingly strong job gains––employers added more than 500,000 jobs––and unemployment fell to 3.4%, the lowest level since 1969. Meanwhile, wage growth, seen as a potential contributor to ongoing high inflation, continued to moderate. All eyes remained fixed on the Fed and on how many additional rate hikes it will announce before reaching the peak (“terminal”) rate, expected to be above 5%. The 0.25% federal funds rate hike announced in January was the Fed’s smallest rate increase since March 2022.

MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
The fiscal year that ended January 31, 2023, saw a sea change in the interest rate environment as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised rates 4.25% over the period, taking its target range for the effective federal funds rate from 0.00% to 0.25% at the beginning of the year to 4.25% to 4.50% at the end. The Fed also stopped buying Treasury and mortgage-backed securities as part of its quantitative easing program in March 2022. It also began to allow the securities in its portfolio to mature without reinvestment—which shrinks its balance sheet and thus tightens monetary conditions and is known as quantitative tightening— beginning in June. In summary, the period began with the Fed in a very accommodative monetary policy stance and ended with it having rapidly removed accommodation throughout the year.
Portfolio composition as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
The Fed changed its approach because the economy evolved in ways that affected its mandates. Where previously the Fed was attempting to aid the economy to improve employment, and in the belief that pandemic-era price increases would prove to be transitory, the Fed realized that it needed to abruptly change its stance when labor markets remained stubbornly strong and prices throughout the economy continued to rise at a pace not seen for decades. The unemployment rate began the fiscal year at 4.0%, down from its pandemic peak of 14.8% in April 2020, and fell to 3.4% by fiscal year-end. After beginning the fiscal year at 6.0%, a multi-decade high, the PCE Price Index,* the Fed’s preferred price measure, ended the fiscal year only marginally lower at 5.0%, still far above its target of 2%. By tightening monetary policy, the Fed intends to slow the economy, weaken the labor market, and weaken demand sufficiently to reduce inflation.
Interest rates on all categories of government money market securities increased nearly in lockstep with the Fed’s interest rate increases. For example, 3-month Treasury bills (T-bills) yielded 0.18% at the beginning of the fiscal year before rising to 4.66% at fiscal year-end. Similarly, 6-month T-bills yielded 0.45% and 4.78% at the beginning and end, respectively, of the fiscal year. The yields on repurchase agreements (repos)
were also very low at the beginning of the fiscal year and rose as the Fed increased rates. Overnight Treasury repo rates, as measured by the Fed’s Secured Overnight Financing Rate, began the period at 0.05% and ended it at 4.30%. In addition, yields on government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) securities were similar to those on T-bills throughout the year.
Effective maturity distribution as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
Our investment strategy continued to emphasize maintaining both a stable $1.00 net asset value and adequate liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions. Accordingly, we invested in T-bills; U.S. Treasury notes; GSE discount notes; and other securities, including floating-rate notes and repos collateralized by Treasury securities and GSE obligations.
Strategic outlook
The Fed’s rapid interest rate increases in 2022 are an indication of how far inflation has risen above its target. Because it had let interest rates stay near zero for too long, the Fed needed to raise rates more aggressively than it or market participants had expected. Interest rate changes are thought to affect the economy on a delayed basis, so the impact of the recent increases has likely not yet been fully seen. As a result, there is significant uncertainty about the direction of the economy and the outlook for interest rates in the upcoming fiscal year. It is possible the significant interest rate increases over the past year will materially slow the economy, perhaps spurring a recession, and bring inflation back down nearer to its target of 2%. In that event, interest rates may not rise much higher, and in fact they may fall later in the year. On the other hand, the tight labor market and rising wages may cause inflation to remain stubbornly high, leading the Fed to continue to raise rates, albeit at a slower pace, and to keep rates elevated for longer. The Fed has so far indicated in its recent actions and communications that it intends to slow the pace of its interest rate hikes to allow time to evaluate the impact of last year’s actions on the economy. Beyond that, the economy’s evolution will determine the Fed’s path.

Weighted average maturity as of January 31, 20231
8 days
1 Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
    
Weighted average life as of January 31, 20231
53 days
1 Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. 
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare 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 the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Allspring Funds Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Allspring Government Money Market Fund (the "Fund") which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, LLC ("Allspring Funds Management"), which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Management's process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Allspring Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price (including accrued interest). The repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund's commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are valued using amortized cost which approximates market value and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.

Notes to financial statements
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund's fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund's distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of January 31, 2023, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable distribution, shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common fund-level expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
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 in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2023:

6. MARKET RISKS
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, the funds, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may last for an extended period of time. COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund's organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Trustees
Allspring Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Allspring Government Money Market Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Allspring Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies; however, we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Andrew Owen
President
Allspring Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Allspring Heritage Money Market Fund for the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023. Globally, stocks and bonds experienced heightened volatility and historically poor performance through the challenging period. Earlier tailwinds provided by global stimulus programs, vaccination rollouts, and recovering consumer and corporate sentiment were wiped away by the highest rate of inflation in four decades as well as the impact of ongoing aggressive central bank rate hikes and the prospect of more rate hikes. Compounding these concerns were the global reverberations of the Russia-Ukraine war and the impact of China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
For the 12-month period, stocks and bonds––both domestic U.S. and global––suffered losses. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 returned -8.22%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned -5.72%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net) (USD)3 had weaker performance, with a decline of 12.12%. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 returned -8.36%, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 returned -14.18%, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index6 declined 3.25%, and the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index7 fell 5.08%.
The Russia-Ukraine war, high inflation, and central bank rate hikes rocked markets.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine dominated the financial world in February and March. Equity, bond, and commodities markets were shaken by fear, uncertainty, and an upending of demand-supply dynamics. Major global stock indexes were down in February, along with global bonds overall, with heightened volatility in March and mixed results that favored U.S. large-cap stocks. Prices of commodities spiked, including crude oil, natural gas, wheat, and precious metals, on elevated concerns of supply shortages. All of this fueled inflation concerns and added to expectations of more aggressive central bank interest rate hikes. Sweeping sanctions against Russia and corporate pullouts contributed to market volatility. Despite the geopolitical turmoil, the U.S. economic outlook remained largely unchanged, with a healthy job market and signs of economic resilience accompanying higher prices.
In April, market volatility continued, with deepening losses across major capital markets, as both the S&P 500 and MSCI ACWI (Net)8 fell 8% or more for the month. The Chinese economy struggled through a strict lockdown as the government tried to contain a major COVID-19 outbreak. The ensuing global ripple effect compounded existing supply shortages. This was exacerbated by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on global commodities. Meanwhile, U.S. annual inflation raged at 8.5%, its highest level since 1981, and investors braced themselves for aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary tightening moves.

Market volatility continued in May, although markets recovered ground late in the month. Value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. The concerns that had dominated markets for months continued, including high inflation and geopolitical tensions that added to high crude oil, gasoline, and food prices. In response, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.50%, with widescale expectations of more rate hikes. Meanwhile, highly contagious COVID-19 variants persisted. However, labor markets in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe remained strong. U.S. retail sales for April, released in May, indicated a fourth consecutive monthly increase, reflecting continued consumer resilience.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation. The Fed raised its short-term rate by another 0.75% in June. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate held firm at 3.6% and the housing market remained only marginally affected by sharply higher mortgage rates.
Markets rebounded in July, led by U.S. stocks. While evidence began to point to an economic slowdown after two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product (economic contraction), the U.S. labor market remained surprisingly robust: July nonfarm payrolls grew by more than 500,000 and U.S. unemployment dipped to 3.5%. Meanwhile, crude oil and retail gasoline prices, major contributors to recent overall inflation, fell substantially from earlier highs. And while U.S. home prices rose, home sales fell as houses became less affordable with mortgage rates at a 13-year high. The Fed raised the federal funds rate another 0.75% in July—to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%—and forecasts pointed to further rate hikes.
August was yet another broadly challenging month for financial markets, with more red ink flowing. High inflation persisted, cresting 9% in the eurozone on an annual basis and remaining above 8% in the U.S. despite the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy and a major drop in global crude oil and gasoline prices from their June peak. One positive note was the resilience of the U.S. job market. However, the Fed’s job was clearly not complete. One longer-term bright spot was the U.S. Congress’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.  Its primary stated goals include: to reduce inflation (though not immediately) by curbing the deficit, capping health care spending by seniors, and investing in domestic sources of clean energy.
The market misery continued in September. There was nowhere to hide as all asset classes suffered major losses at the hands of persistent inflation. Central banks kept up their battle against rapidly rising prices with more rate hikes. The strength of the U.S. dollar made things even more difficult for investors holding assets in other currencies. U.S. mortgage rates jumped to near 7% on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages; the decreased housing affordability began to cool demand somewhat. The U.K. experienced a sharp sell-off of government bonds and the British pound in September as investors panicked in response to a new government budget that was seen as financially unsound. The market meltdown forced the Bank of England to step in and buy long-dated government bonds.
Equities had a reprieve in October after two months of sharp declines. Value stocks and small caps fared best. Globally, developed markets outpaced emerging market equities, which were hurt by weakness among Chinese stocks. Central banks continued to try to curtail high inflation with aggressive interest rate hikes. Geopolitical risks persisted, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and economic, financial market, and political turmoil in the U.K., which led to a second prime ministerial change in six weeks, as Rishi Sunak replaced Liz Truss in late October. Concerns over Europe’s energy crisis eased thanks to unseasonably warm weather and plentiful gas on hand. The U.S. labor market continued its resilience against rising prices, as unemployment stood at 3.7%, near a record low.
Stocks and bonds rallied in November, with emerging market equities gaining nearly 15% and developed market equities returning 7%. The S&P 500 Index rose 5.6% in November. Bonds also had positive monthly returns. Economic news was encouraging, driven by U.S. labor market strength. Although central banks kept raising rates, hopes rose for an easing in the pace of rate hikes and a possible end to central bank monetary tightening in 2023. Although inflation remained at record highs in the eurozone, we began to see signs of a possible decline in inflationary pressures as U.S. inflation moderated, with a 7.1% annual price rise in November and a monthly price increase of just 0.1%. China’s economic data remained weak, reflecting its zero-COVID-19 policy.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation.

Financial markets cooled in December, with U.S. equities posting negative overall results in response to a weakening U.S. dollar. Fixed income securities ended one of their worst years ever with flat overall monthly returns as markets weighed the hopes for an end to the monetary tightening cycle with the reality that central banks had not completed their jobs yet. U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 data showed a strong consistent trend downward, which brought down the 12-month CPI to 6.5% in December from 9.1% in June. Other countries and regions reported still-high but declining inflation rates as the year winded down.
The year 2023 began with a broad rally across global equities and fixed income securities. Investor optimism rose in response to data indicating declining inflation rates and the reopening of China’s economy with the abrupt end to its zero-COVID-19 policy. The U.S. reported surprisingly strong job gains––employers added more than 500,000 jobs––and unemployment fell to 3.4%, the lowest level since 1969. Meanwhile, wage growth, seen as a potential contributor to ongoing high inflation, continued to moderate. All eyes remained fixed on the Fed and on how many additional rate hikes it will announce before reaching the peak (“terminal”) rate, expected to be above 5%. The 0.25% federal funds rate hike announced in January was the Fed’s smallest rate increase since March 2022.

MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
After letting the U.S. economy run at above-trend growth in 2021 in order to recover from a COVID-19-induced economic crisis, the unanswered question seemed to be: Would the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) be willing to take its foot off the monetary policy accelerator to combat inflation and inflation expectations? After years of easy monetary policies, even in the face of high and accelerating inflation data, market participants resisted the idea that the FOMC would be aggressive in fighting inflation, becoming comfortable with the idea that it would talk a tough game but wouldn’t follow through with tough actions. As we began the reporting period, even the Federal Reserve (Fed), as evidenced by the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP or “dot plot”), showed a reluctance by the participants to raise rates too aggressively. However, as it became evident inflation was not just “transitory,” the Fed followed through by raising rates 4.25% over the reporting period, taking its target range for the effective federal funds rate from 0.00% to 0.25% at the beginning of the year to 4.25% to 4.50% at the end.
Portfolio composition as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
At the beginning of the reporting period, the prime market yields were relatively flat as expectations surrounding the FOMC raising its target rate were just starting to be reflected: the yield pickup from the 1-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (at 0.11%) to 1-year LIBOR (at 0.96%) was 85 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%). By the end of March 2022, as Fed members began actively promoting their views for higher rates and preparing markets for upcoming rate increases, the yield curve had shifted up slightly, reflecting the Fed’s first rate hike, as well as steepened, to a pickup of 165 bps from one month to one year as a more aggressive Fed was priced into market yields. By the end of the reporting period, the rate curve flattened, albeit at much higher levels, with 1-month LIBOR at 4.57% and 1-year LIBOR at 5.34%, as the FOMC is now perceived to
be more data dependent and closer to ending the tightening cycle: Fed Chair Powell indicated in December that while the pace of future rate increases may slow, data surrounding inflation and inflation expectations will dictate the duration of rate increases.

Strategic outlook
While we may be nearing an inflection point on rates, Chair Powell has remained cautious and has repeatedly emphasized to market participants that target rates might stay higher for longer than expected. However, the money markets, and in particular the fed funds futures market, paint a somewhat more optimistic picture, expecting a swift resolution to inflation followed by the Fed easing monetary conditions toward the end of the year. Chair Powell has attempted to temper those expectations by emphasizing that in addition to the inflation data, the Fed is watching labor markets. In its view, labor market conditions are very tight and wage growth remains robust—conditions ripe, it fears, for keeping inflation elevated. The Fed would like to see some moderation in wage growth and easing of labor market conditions, as it believes that even though commodity pricing may be helping inflation decline, labor market conditions can offset those gains. It’s possible, too, that if the labor market remains tight this may even provide a floor under inflation, which is not a desirable outcome.
Credit metrics in the prime space continued to be well supported by favorable market liquidity. Bank capital requirements are stable, while liquidity and interest coverage ratios remain solid. The combination of market liquidity, well-supported credit metrics, and higher yields has made money markets an attractive asset class this year.

Performance highlights (unaudited)
In response to the FOMC and, more importantly, to expectations of future rate increases, market yields have moved higher this year. Our conservative approach to portfolio management—favoring excess liquidity over regulatory requirements and shorter weighted average maturities—was especially beneficial this year as we were able to quickly capture FOMC rate increases in the Fund yield. Going forward, our relatively short portfolio positioning should enable us to continue to reap the benefits of further tightening, as well as extend purchases if the opportunity offers a favorable risk/reward proposition. And finally, in addition to capturing higher yields, the enhanced liquidity buffer in our portfolios allows us to meet the liquidity needs of our investors while dampening net asset value volatility.
Weighted average maturity as of January 31, 20231
6 days
1 Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
    
Weighted average life as of January 31, 20231
47 days
1 Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs including management fees, shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. 
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare 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 the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Allspring Funds Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Allspring Heritage Money Market Fund (the "Fund") which is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Fund operates as an institutional non-government money market fund. As an institutional non-government money market fund, shareholders will transact at a floating net asset value (NAV) rounded to four decimal places in accordance with the valuation policies below.
Consistent with Rule 2a-7, the Board of Trustees of the Fund is permitted to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions from the Fund or a redemption gate (i.e., a suspension of the right to redeem) in the event that the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. If the Fund’s weekly liquid assets (as defined in Rule 2a-7(34)) fall below 30% of the Fund’s total assets, the Board of Trustees is permitted, but not required, to: (i) impose a liquidity fee of no more than 2% of the amount redeemed; and/or (ii) impose a redemption gate. If the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of the Fund’s total assets, the Fund must impose, generally as of the beginning of the next business day, a liquidity fee of 1% of the amount redeemed unless the Board of Trustees determines that such a fee is not in the best interest of the Fund or determines that a lower or higher fee (subject to the 2% limit) is in the best interest of the Fund. Liquidity fees reduce the amount a shareholder receives upon redemption of its shares. The Fund retains any liquidity fees for the benefit of remaining shareholders. The Board of Trustees did not impose any liquidity fees and/or redemption gates during the year ended January 31, 2023.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, LLC ("Allspring Funds Management"), which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Management's process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Allspring Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price (including accrued interest). The repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Notes to financial statements
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund's commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund's fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund's distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of January 31, 2023, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $4,827,423,350 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains $1,298,068
Gross unrealized losses (129,238)
Net unrealized gains $1,168,830
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. At January 31, 2023, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:
Paid-in capital Total distributable
loss
$(1,000,000) $1,000,000
As of January 31, 2023, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $2,753,422 in short-term capital losses.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common fund-level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

Notes to financial statements
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
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 in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2023:

Allspring Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Allspring Funds Management. Allspring Global Investments, LLC, an affiliate of Allspring Funds Management and a wholly owned subsidiary of Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Allspring Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.

In addition to the contractual waivers and/or reimbursements, Allspring Funds Management also voluntarily waived certain class-level expenses during the year ended January 31, 2023 in order to maintain a positive yield.  These voluntary class-level waivers may be discontinued at any time.  As of January 31, 2023, the contractual expense caps are as follows:
  Expense ratio caps
Administrator Class 0.33%
Institutional Class 0.20
Select Class 0.13
Service Class 0.43

A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.

Other transactions

5. ACQUISITION
After the close of business on March 26, 2021, the Fund acquired the net assets of Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Shareholders holding Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Select Class and Service Class shares of Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund received Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Select Class and Service Class, respectively, of the Fund in the reorganization. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of all of the shares of Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund for 492,242,574 shares of the Fund valued at $492,497,231 at an exchange ratio of 1.00, 1.00, 1.00, and 1.00 for Administrator Class, Institutional Class, Select Class and Service Class, respectively. The investment portfolio of Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund with a fair value of $491,721,702, identified cost of $491,720,949 and unrealized gains of $753 at March 26, 2021 were the principal assets acquired by the Fund. The aggregate net assets of Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund and the Fund immediately prior to the acquisition were $492,497,231 and $8,109,685,068, respectively. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately after the acquisition were $8,602,182,299. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Wells Fargo Cash Investment Money Market Fund was carried forward to align with ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed February 1, 2021, the beginning of the annual reporting period for the Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended January 31, 2022 would have been as follows:
Net investment income $6,579,046      
Net realized and unrealized losses on investment (412,563)      
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations $6,166,483      
6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid was $101,947,255 and $2,288,509 of ordinary income for the years ended January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022, respectively.
As of January 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed
ordinary
income
Unrealized
gains
Capital loss
carryforward
$1,649,456 $1,168,830 $(2,753,422)
7. MARKET RISKS
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, the funds, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may last for an extended period of time. COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund's organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Trustees
Allspring Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Allspring Heritage Money Market Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Allspring Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies; however, we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Andrew Owen
President
Allspring Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Allspring Money Market Fund for the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023. Globally, stocks and bonds experienced heightened volatility and historically poor performance through the challenging period. Earlier tailwinds provided by global stimulus programs, vaccination rollouts, and recovering consumer and corporate sentiment were wiped away by the highest rate of inflation in four decades as well as the impact of ongoing aggressive central bank rate hikes and the prospect of more rate hikes. Compounding these concerns were the global reverberations of the Russia-Ukraine war and the impact of China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
For the 12-month period, stocks and bonds––both domestic U.S. and global––suffered losses. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 returned -8.22%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned -5.72%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net) (USD)3 had weaker performance, with a decline of 12.12%. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 returned -8.36%, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 returned -14.18%, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index6 declined 3.25%, and the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index7 fell 5.08%.
The Russia-Ukraine war, high inflation, and central bank rate hikes rocked markets.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine dominated the financial world in February and March. Equity, bond, and commodities markets were shaken by fear, uncertainty, and an upending of demand-supply dynamics. Major global stock indexes were down in February, along with global bonds overall, with heightened volatility in March and mixed results that favored U.S. large-cap stocks. Prices of commodities spiked, including crude oil, natural gas, wheat, and precious metals, on elevated concerns of supply shortages. All of this fueled inflation concerns and added to expectations of more aggressive central bank interest rate hikes. Sweeping sanctions against Russia and corporate pullouts contributed to market volatility. Despite the geopolitical turmoil, the U.S. economic outlook remained largely unchanged, with a healthy job market and signs of economic resilience accompanying higher prices.
In April, market volatility continued, with deepening losses across major capital markets, as both the S&P 500 and MSCI ACWI (Net)8 fell 8% or more for the month. The Chinese economy struggled through a strict lockdown as the government tried to contain a major COVID-19 outbreak. The ensuing global ripple effect compounded existing supply shortages. This was exacerbated by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on global commodities. Meanwhile, U.S. annual inflation raged at 8.5%, its highest level since 1981, and investors braced themselves for aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary tightening moves.

Market volatility continued in May, although markets recovered ground late in the month. Value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. The concerns that had dominated markets for months continued, including high inflation and geopolitical tensions that added to high crude oil, gasoline, and food prices. In response, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.50%, with widescale expectations of more rate hikes. Meanwhile, highly contagious COVID-19 variants persisted. However, labor markets in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe remained strong. U.S. retail sales for April, released in May, indicated a fourth consecutive monthly increase, reflecting continued consumer resilience.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation. The Fed raised its short-term rate by another 0.75% in June. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate held firm at 3.6% and the housing market remained only marginally affected by sharply higher mortgage rates.
Markets rebounded in July, led by U.S. stocks. While evidence began to point to an economic slowdown after two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product (economic contraction), the U.S. labor market remained surprisingly robust: July nonfarm payrolls grew by more than 500,000 and U.S. unemployment dipped to 3.5%. Meanwhile, crude oil and retail gasoline prices, major contributors to recent overall inflation, fell substantially from earlier highs. And while U.S. home prices rose, home sales fell as houses became less affordable with mortgage rates at a 13-year high. The Fed raised the federal funds rate another 0.75% in July—to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%—and forecasts pointed to further rate hikes.
August was yet another broadly challenging month for financial markets, with more red ink flowing. High inflation persisted, cresting 9% in the eurozone on an annual basis and remaining above 8% in the U.S. despite the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy and a major drop in global crude oil and gasoline prices from their June peak. One positive note was the resilience of the U.S. job market. However, the Fed’s job was clearly not complete. One longer-term bright spot was the U.S. Congress’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.  Its primary stated goals include: to reduce inflation (though not immediately) by curbing the deficit, capping health care spending by seniors, and investing in domestic sources of clean energy.
The market misery continued in September. There was nowhere to hide as all asset classes suffered major losses at the hands of persistent inflation. Central banks kept up their battle against rapidly rising prices with more rate hikes. The strength of the U.S. dollar made things even more difficult for investors holding assets in other currencies. U.S. mortgage rates jumped to near 7% on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages; the decreased housing affordability began to cool demand somewhat. The U.K. experienced a sharp sell-off of government bonds and the British pound in September as investors panicked in response to a new government budget that was seen as financially unsound. The market meltdown forced the Bank of England to step in and buy long-dated government bonds.
Equities had a reprieve in October after two months of sharp declines. Value stocks and small caps fared best. Globally, developed markets outpaced emerging market equities, which were hurt by weakness among Chinese stocks. Central banks continued to try to curtail high inflation with aggressive interest rate hikes. Geopolitical risks persisted, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and economic, financial market, and political turmoil in the U.K., which led to a second prime ministerial change in six weeks, as Rishi Sunak replaced Liz Truss in late October. Concerns over Europe’s energy crisis eased thanks to unseasonably warm weather and plentiful gas on hand. The U.S. labor market continued its resilience against rising prices, as unemployment stood at 3.7%, near a record low.
Stocks and bonds rallied in November, with emerging market equities gaining nearly 15% and developed market equities returning 7%. The S&P 500 Index rose 5.6% in November. Bonds also had positive monthly returns. Economic news was encouraging, driven by U.S. labor market strength. Although central banks kept raising rates, hopes rose for an easing in the pace of rate hikes and a possible end to central bank monetary tightening in 2023. Although inflation remained at record highs in the eurozone, we began to see signs of a possible decline in inflationary pressures as U.S. inflation moderated, with a 7.1% annual price rise in November and a monthly price increase of just 0.1%. China’s economic data remained weak, reflecting its zero-COVID-19 policy.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation.

Financial markets cooled in December, with U.S. equities posting negative overall results in response to a weakening U.S. dollar. Fixed income securities ended one of their worst years ever with flat overall monthly returns as markets weighed the hopes for an end to the monetary tightening cycle with the reality that central banks had not completed their jobs yet. U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 data showed a strong consistent trend downward, which brought down the 12-month CPI to 6.5% in December from 9.1% in June. Other countries and regions reported still-high but declining inflation rates as the year winded down.
The year 2023 began with a broad rally across global equities and fixed income securities. Investor optimism rose in response to data indicating declining inflation rates and the reopening of China’s economy with the abrupt end to its zero-COVID-19 policy. The U.S. reported surprisingly strong job gains––employers added more than 500,000 jobs––and unemployment fell to 3.4%, the lowest level since 1969. Meanwhile, wage growth, seen as a potential contributor to ongoing high inflation, continued to moderate. All eyes remained fixed on the Fed and on how many additional rate hikes it will announce before reaching the peak (“terminal”) rate, expected to be above 5%. The 0.25% federal funds rate hike announced in January was the Fed’s smallest rate increase since March 2022.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Allspring Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Allspring Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.

2 The manager has contractually committed through May 31, 2023, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.60% for Class A, 1.35% for Class C, 0.20% for Premier Class and 0.50% for Service Class. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. The manager and/or its affiliates may also voluntarily waive all or a portion of any fees to which they are entitled and/or reimburse certain expenses as they may determine from time to time. Without these caps, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses.
3 Historical performance shown for the Premier Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Class A shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to the Class A shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns for the Premier Class shares would be higher.

MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
After letting the U.S. economy run at above-trend growth in 2021 in order to recover from a COVID-19-induced economic crisis, the unanswered question seemed to be: Would the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) be willing to take its foot off the monetary policy accelerator to combat inflation and inflation expectations? After years of easy monetary policies, even in the face of high and accelerating inflation data, market participants resisted the idea that the FOMC would be aggressive in fighting inflation, becoming comfortable with the idea that it would talk a tough game but wouldn’t follow through with tough actions. As we began the reporting period, even the Federal Reserve (Fed), as evidenced by the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP or “dot plot”), showed a reluctance by the participants to raise rates too aggressively. However, as it became evident inflation was not just “transitory,” the Fed followed through by raising rates 4.25% over the reporting period, taking its target range for the effective federal funds rate from 0.00% to 0.25% at the beginning of the year to 4.25% to 4.50% at the end.
Portfolio composition as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
At the beginning of the reporting period, the prime market yields were relatively flat as expectations surrounding the FOMC raising its target rate were just starting to be reflected: the yield pickup from the 1-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (at 0.11%) to 1-year LIBOR (at 0.96%) was 85 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%). By the end of March 2022, as Fed members began actively promoting their views for higher rates and preparing markets for upcoming rate increases, the yield curve had shifted up slightly, reflecting the Fed’s first rate hike, as well as steepened, to a pickup of 165 bps from one month to one year as a more aggressive Fed was priced into market yields. By the end of the reporting period, the rate curve flattened, albeit at much higher levels, with 1-month LIBOR at 4.57% and 1-year LIBOR at 5.34%, as the FOMC is now perceived to
be more data dependent and closer to ending the tightening cycle: Fed Chair Powell indicated in December that while the pace of future rate increases may slow, data surrounding inflation and inflation expectations will dictate the duration of rate increases.

Strategic outlook
While we may be nearing an inflection point on rates, Chair Powell has remained cautious and has repeatedly emphasized to market participants that target rates might stay higher for longer than expected. However, the money markets, and in particular the fed funds futures market, paint a somewhat more optimistic picture, expecting a swift resolution to inflation followed by the Fed easing monetary conditions toward the end of the year. Chair Powell has attempted to temper those expectations by emphasizing that in addition to the inflation data, the Fed is watching labor markets. In its view, labor market conditions are very tight and wage growth remains robust—conditions ripe, it fears, for keeping inflation elevated. The Fed would like to see some moderation in wage growth and easing of labor market conditions, as it believes that even though commodity pricing may be helping inflation decline, labor market conditions can offset those gains. It’s possible, too, that if the labor market remains tight this may even provide a floor under inflation, which is not a desirable outcome.
Credit metrics in the prime space continued to be well supported by favorable market liquidity. Bank capital requirements are stable, while liquidity and interest coverage ratios remain solid. The combination of market liquidity, well-supported credit metrics, and higher yields has made money markets an attractive asset class this year.

In response to the FOMC and, more importantly, to expectations of future rate increases, market yields have moved higher this year. Our conservative approach to portfolio management—favoring excess liquidity over regulatory requirements and shorter weighted average maturities—was especially beneficial this year as we were able to quickly capture FOMC rate increases in the Fund yield. Going forward, our relatively short portfolio positioning should enable us to continue to reap the benefits of further tightening, as well as extend purchases if the opportunity offers a favorable risk/reward proposition. And finally, in addition to capturing higher yields, the enhanced liquidity buffer in our portfolios allows us to meet the liquidity needs of our investors while dampening net asset value volatility.
Weighted average maturity as of January 31, 20231
7 days
1 Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
    
Weighted average life as of January 31, 20231
60 days
1 Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur: (1) transaction costs, including contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. 
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare 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 the shareholder reports of the 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 contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Allspring Funds Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Allspring Money Market Fund (the "Fund") which is a diversified series of the Trust.
Consistent with Rule 2a-7, the Board of Trustees of the Fund is permitted to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions from the Fund or a redemption gate (i.e., a suspension of the right to redeem) in the event that the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. If the Fund’s weekly liquid assets (as defined in Rule 2a-7(34)) fall below 30% of the Fund’s total assets, the Board of Trustees is permitted, but not required, to: (i) impose a liquidity fee of no more than 2% of the amount redeemed; and/or (ii) impose a redemption gate. If the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of the Fund’s total assets, the Fund must impose, generally as of the beginning of the next business day, a liquidity fee of 1% of the amount redeemed unless the Board of Trustees determines that such a fee is not in the best interest of the Fund or determines that a lower or higher fee (subject to the 2% limit) is in the best interest of the Fund. Liquidity fees reduce the amount a shareholder receives upon redemption of its shares. The Fund retains any liquidity fees for the benefit of remaining shareholders. The Board of Trustees did not impose any liquidity fees and/or redemption gates during the year ended January 31, 2023.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, LLC ("Allspring Funds Management"), which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Management's process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Allspring Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price (including accrued interest). The repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund's commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are valued using amortized cost which approximates market

28  |  Retail Money Market Funds


Notes to financial statements
value and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund's fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund's distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of January 31, 2023, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
As of January 31, 2023, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $550,581 in short-term capital losses.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common fund-level expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
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 in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Allspring Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Allspring Funds Management.

Premier Class 0.08

Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed to waive and/or reimburse management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund.  When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Allspring Funds Management will waive fees and/or reimburse expenses from fund-level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses.  When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses.  Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed through May 31, 2023 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap expenses.  Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. In addition to the contractual waivers and/or reimbursements, Allspring Funds Management also voluntarily waived certain fund-level and/or class-level expenses during the year ended January 31, 2023 in order to maintain a positive yield.  These voluntary fund-level and/or class-level waivers may be discontinued at any time.  As of January 31, 2023, the contractual expense caps are as follows:
  Expense ratio caps
Class A 0.60%
Class C 1.35
Premier Class 0.20
Service Class 0.50
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Allspring Funds Distributor, LLC ("Allspring Funds Distributor"), the principal underwriter, an affiliate of Allspring Funds Management, at an annual rate up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Allspring Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class C shares for the year ended January 31, 2023.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C and Service Class are charged a fee at an annual rate up to 0.25% of the respective average daily net assets of each class. A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund had $58,175,000, $0 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the year ended January 31, 2023.

6. MARKET RISKS
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, the funds, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may last for an extended period of time. COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund's organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Trustees
Allspring Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Allspring Money Market Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Allspring Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies; however, we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Allspring Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund for the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023. Globally, stocks and bonds experienced heightened volatility and historically poor performance through the challenging period. Earlier tailwinds provided by global stimulus programs, vaccination rollouts, and recovering consumer and corporate sentiment were wiped away by the highest rate of inflation in four decades as well as the impact of ongoing aggressive central bank rate hikes and the prospect of more rate hikes. Compounding these concerns were the global reverberations of the Russia-Ukraine war and the impact of China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
For the 12-month period, stocks and bonds––both domestic U.S. and global––suffered losses. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 returned -8.22%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned -5.72%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net) (USD)3 had weaker performance, with a decline of 12.12%. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 returned -8.36%, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 returned -14.18%, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index6 declined 3.25%, and the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index7 fell 5.08%.
The Russia-Ukraine war, high inflation, and central bank rate hikes rocked markets.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine dominated the financial world in February and March. Equity, bond, and commodities markets were shaken by fear, uncertainty, and an upending of demand-supply dynamics. Major global stock indexes were down in February, along with global bonds overall, with heightened volatility in March and mixed results that favored U.S. large-cap stocks. Prices of commodities spiked, including crude oil, natural gas, wheat, and precious metals, on elevated concerns of supply shortages. All of this fueled inflation concerns and added to expectations of more aggressive central bank interest rate hikes. Sweeping sanctions against Russia and corporate pullouts contributed to market volatility. Despite the geopolitical turmoil, the U.S. economic outlook remained largely unchanged, with a healthy job market and signs of economic resilience accompanying higher prices.
In April, market volatility continued, with deepening losses across major capital markets, as both the S&P 500 and MSCI ACWI (Net)8 fell 8% or more for the month. The Chinese economy struggled through a strict lockdown as the government tried to contain a major COVID-19 outbreak. The ensuing global ripple effect compounded existing supply shortages. This was exacerbated by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on global commodities. Meanwhile, U.S. annual inflation raged at 8.5%, its highest level since 1981, and investors braced themselves for aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary tightening moves.

Market volatility continued in May, although markets recovered ground late in the month. Value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. The concerns that had dominated markets for months continued, including high inflation and geopolitical tensions that added to high crude oil, gasoline, and food prices. In response, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.50%, with widescale expectations of more rate hikes. Meanwhile, highly contagious COVID-19 variants persisted. However, labor markets in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe remained strong. U.S. retail sales for April, released in May, indicated a fourth consecutive monthly increase, reflecting continued consumer resilience.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation. The Fed raised its short-term rate by another 0.75% in June. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate held firm at 3.6% and the housing market remained only marginally affected by sharply higher mortgage rates.
Markets rebounded in July, led by U.S. stocks. While evidence began to point to an economic slowdown after two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product (economic contraction), the U.S. labor market remained surprisingly robust: July nonfarm payrolls grew by more than 500,000 and U.S. unemployment dipped to 3.5%. Meanwhile, crude oil and retail gasoline prices, major contributors to recent overall inflation, fell substantially from earlier highs. And while U.S. home prices rose, home sales fell as houses became less affordable with mortgage rates at a 13-year high. The Fed raised the federal funds rate another 0.75% in July—to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%—and forecasts pointed to further rate hikes.
August was yet another broadly challenging month for financial markets, with more red ink flowing. High inflation persisted, cresting 9% in the eurozone on an annual basis and remaining above 8% in the U.S. despite the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy and a major drop in global crude oil and gasoline prices from their June peak. One positive note was the resilience of the U.S. job market. However, the Fed’s job was clearly not complete. One longer-term bright spot was the U.S. Congress’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.  Its primary stated goals include: to reduce inflation (though not immediately) by curbing the deficit, capping health care spending by seniors, and investing in domestic sources of clean energy.
The market misery continued in September. There was nowhere to hide as all asset classes suffered major losses at the hands of persistent inflation. Central banks kept up their battle against rapidly rising prices with more rate hikes. The strength of the U.S. dollar made things even more difficult for investors holding assets in other currencies. U.S. mortgage rates jumped to near 7% on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages; the decreased housing affordability began to cool demand somewhat. The U.K. experienced a sharp sell-off of government bonds and the British pound in September as investors panicked in response to a new government budget that was seen as financially unsound. The market meltdown forced the Bank of England to step in and buy long-dated government bonds.
Equities had a reprieve in October after two months of sharp declines. Value stocks and small caps fared best. Globally, developed markets outpaced emerging market equities, which were hurt by weakness among Chinese stocks. Central banks continued to try to curtail high inflation with aggressive interest rate hikes. Geopolitical risks persisted, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and economic, financial market, and political turmoil in the U.K., which led to a second prime ministerial change in six weeks, as Rishi Sunak replaced Liz Truss in late October. Concerns over Europe’s energy crisis eased thanks to unseasonably warm weather and plentiful gas on hand. The U.S. labor market continued its resilience against rising prices, as unemployment stood at 3.7%, near a record low.
Stocks and bonds rallied in November, with emerging market equities gaining nearly 15% and developed market equities returning 7%. The S&P 500 Index rose 5.6% in November. Bonds also had positive monthly returns. Economic news was encouraging, driven by U.S. labor market strength. Although central banks kept raising rates, hopes rose for an easing in the pace of rate hikes and a possible end to central bank monetary tightening in 2023. Although inflation remained at record highs in the eurozone, we began to see signs of a possible decline in inflationary pressures as U.S. inflation moderated, with a 7.1% annual price rise in November and a monthly price increase of just 0.1%. China’s economic data remained weak, reflecting its zero-COVID-19 policy.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation.

Financial markets cooled in December, with U.S. equities posting negative overall results in response to a weakening U.S. dollar. Fixed income securities ended one of their worst years ever with flat overall monthly returns as markets weighed the hopes for an end to the monetary tightening cycle with the reality that central banks had not completed their jobs yet. U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 data showed a strong consistent trend downward, which brought down the 12-month CPI to 6.5% in December from 9.1% in June. Other countries and regions reported still-high but declining inflation rates as the year winded down.
The year 2023 began with a broad rally across global equities and fixed income securities. Investor optimism rose in response to data indicating declining inflation rates and the reopening of China’s economy with the abrupt end to its zero-COVID-19 policy. The U.S. reported surprisingly strong job gains––employers added more than 500,000 jobs––and unemployment fell to 3.4%, the lowest level since 1969. Meanwhile, wage growth, seen as a potential contributor to ongoing high inflation, continued to moderate. All eyes remained fixed on the Fed and on how many additional rate hikes it will announce before reaching the peak (“terminal”) rate, expected to be above 5%. The 0.25% federal funds rate hike announced in January was the Fed’s smallest rate increase since March 2022.

MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
During the period, the municipal money markets were not immune to the elevated level of volatility experienced by the broader financial markets as central banks around the globe reversed monetary policies enacted to support the pandemic economy. The swift reversals in central bank monetary policy resulted in large increases in interest rates up and down the curve and ensuing cross-currents of asset flows between sectors. While interest rates in 2021 remained stable near the zero bound as global interest rate policy remained steadily accommodative following the pandemic, in 2022 markets became rattled as central bank policy turned progressively hawkish. As policy rates shifted higher, the markets were forced to contend with ever-changing nominal rates in addition to rapidly changing relative-value ratios.
Portfolio composition as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
In the municipal money markets, the SIFMA Index* began the period at 0.06%, as the Federal Reserve’s policy maintained its policy range for all of 2021 at 0.00% to 0.25%. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the yield curve was relatively flat as high-grade one-year notes yielded approximately 0.20% and municipal money market fund assets were relatively stable following steady outflows in 2021. However, the markets would gradually begin to heat up as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) embarked on its tightening regime during March. The FOMC initiated its policy shift with a 25 basis point (bp; 100 bps equal 1.00%) rate hike at its March 16 meeting. The combination of higher taxable rates and tax-season pressures pushed the SIFMA Index to 0.51% by the end of March. Meanwhile, yields on
one-year paper rose to 0.50%. The municipal money markets generally responded well to the FOMC rate hikes with solid demand for floating-rate notes such as overnight and weekly VRDNs** and tender option bonds (TOBs).
In the second quarter of 2022, the FOMC turned more hawkish as evidence that higher-than-expected inflation readings would prove “transitory” began to fade. During the quarter, the FOMC responded with one 50 bp rate hike in May and two 75 bp rate hikes in June and July. In response, municipal money market rates shifted higher in sympathy with taxable counterparts, with the SIFMA Index finishing the second quarter at 0.91% while one-year paper yields rose to 2.09%. Consequently, higher nominal levels and the return of the benefits of tax-exempt equivalency attracted investors back to municipal money market funds, whose assets rose from $93 billion to $111 billion during the second quarter, according to Crane Data.
Effective maturity distribution as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
During the third quarter, municipal money market yields began to significantly lag taxable counterparts due to strong seasonal pressures beginning in July. As usual, the period experienced exceptionally large principal and interest payments, leading to excess demand across the municipal space. The supply/demand dynamic was exacerbated by another down year in tax-exempt cash flow note issuance as well as by the FOMC delivering three 75 bp rate hikes at the June, July, and September meetings. Municipal money market yields were slow to respond to these outsized moves. As a result, municipal money market funds saw flows turn
 

* The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA Index) is a seven-day high-grade market index composed of tax-exempt variable-rate demand obligations with certain characteristics. The index is calculated and published by Bloomberg. The index is overseen by SIFMA’s Municipal Swap Index Committee. You cannot invest directly in an index.
** Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs) are debt securities commonly held within certain mutual funds. Like all bonds, VRDN values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable. In addition to credit and interest rate risk, VRDNs are subject to municipal securities risk.

negative as the relative attractiveness of taxable yields disappeared. Eventually, the SIFMA Index was forced to play catchup, increasing to 2.46%, while one-year paper rose to 3.24% to close out September.
That rapid increase in rates at the end of September set the table for municipal money market funds to once again attract assets as tax-exempt yields presented value relative to taxable yields once again. The FOMC closed out the year with a 75 bp hike in November, followed by another 50 bp hike in December. In response, the municipal yield curve flattened and then inverted as expectations for the terminal rate for federal funds began to take a more dovish bent. Ultimately, the SIMFA Index closed the month at 3.66%, or 85% of the federal funds effective rate. Meanwhile, further out on the curve, one-year high-grade note yields fell to 2.97%, down from 3.24% at the end of the third quarter. Municipal money market fund assets reached a multi-year high of roughly $117 billion, according to the Crane Data.
The municipal money market sector remained in high demand as the calendar flipped to 2023. The municipal money market yield curve widened during January as strong inflows into tax-exempt money market funds carried over into the first half of the month. Rates in the overnight and weekly sectors dropped precipitously as demand surged due to the combination of early-month fund inflows and seasonal principal and interest reinvestment needs. Assets in municipal money market funds rose to $128 billion at mid-month, up from $118 billion at calendar year-end, according to Crane Data.
This seasonally strong demand for VRDNs and TOBs drove the SIFMA Index lower throughout the month. After closing 2022 at 3.66% (or 85% of the federal funds effective rate), SIFMA fell for four consecutive weeks before closing at 1.66% (or 38% of the federal funds effective rate). This staggering 200 bp drop had the effect of flipping tax-exempts from extremely attractive to extremely rich relative to taxable securities. Further out on the curve, yields on high-grade paper in the one-year space fell from 2.97% at year-end to 2.27% at the end of January as demand continued to outpace supply and market participants began to price in a more dovish monetary policy from the FOMC. As a result of the significant drop in rates throughout the month, municipal money market funds experienced consistent outflows closer to month-end.
During the period, we continued to emphasize portfolio liquidity by targeting our purchases predominantly in daily and weekly VRDNs and TOBs. This strategy benefited our funds as these floating-rate securities were able to quickly capture the higher levels presented as the FOMC tightened its monetary policy. With expectations of additional increases in the federal funds target, we remained very selective in our term investments.
Strategic outlook
Looking forward to the next period, we expect to continue to maintain our overweight to VRDNs and TOBs in order to take advantage of higher interest rates while maintaining principal stability and portfolio liquidity. We believe our portfolio will be well positioned to take advantage of higher short-term rates as market participants expect the FOMC to continue to increase rates during the first half of the year. Additionally, we continue to believe that the overnight and weekly sectors will remain the most attractive spots on the municipal curve.
Weighted average maturity as of January 31, 20231
7 days
1 Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
    
Weighted average life as of January 31, 20231
7 days
1 Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs including management fees, shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. 
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare 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 the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Allspring Funds Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Allspring Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund (the "Fund") which is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Fund operates as an institutional non-government money market fund. As an institutional non-government money market fund, shareholders will transact at a floating net asset value (NAV) rounded to four decimal places in accordance with the valuation policies below.
Consistent with Rule 2a-7, the Board of Trustees of the Fund is permitted to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions from the Fund or a redemption gate (i.e., a suspension of the right to redeem) in the event that the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. If the Fund’s weekly liquid assets (as defined in Rule 2a-7(34)) fall below 30% of the Fund’s total assets, the Board of Trustees is permitted, but not required, to: (i) impose a liquidity fee of no more than 2% of the amount redeemed; and/or (ii) impose a redemption gate. If the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of the Fund’s total assets, the Fund must impose, generally as of the beginning of the next business day, a liquidity fee of 1% of the amount redeemed unless the Board of Trustees determines that such a fee is not in the best interest of the Fund or determines that a lower or higher fee (subject to the 2% limit) is in the best interest of the Fund. Liquidity fees reduce the amount a shareholder receives upon redemption of its shares. The Fund retains any liquidity fees for the benefit of remaining shareholders. The Board of Trustees did not impose any liquidity fees and/or redemption gates during the year ended January 31, 2023.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, LLC ("Allspring Funds Management"), which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Management's process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Allspring Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price (including accrued interest). The repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Notes to financial statements
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund's fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund's distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of January 31, 2023, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $236,070,138 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains $4,243
Gross unrealized losses 0
Net unrealized gains $4,243
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common fund-level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
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 in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Notes to financial statements
  Class-level
administration fee
Administrator Class 0.10%
Institutional Class 0.08
Service Class 0.12
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed to waive and/or reimburse management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund.  When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Allspring Funds Management will waive fees and/or reimburse expenses from fund-level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses.  When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses.  Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed through May 31, 2023 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap expenses.  Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. In addition to the contractual waivers and/or reimbursements, Allspring Funds Management also voluntarily waived certain class-level expenses during the year ended January 31, 2023 in order to maintain a positive yield.  These voluntary class-level waivers may be discontinued at any time.  As of January 31, 2023, the contractual expense caps are as follows:
  Expense ratio caps
Administrator Class 0.30%
Institutional Class 0.20
Service Class 0.45
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Service Class is charged a fee at an annual rate up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets. Administrator Class is charged a fee at an annual rate up to 0.10% of its average daily net assets. A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund had $554,930,000, $573,571,000 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the year ended January 31, 2023.

6. MARKET RISKS
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, the funds, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may last for an extended period of time. COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund's organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Trustees
Allspring Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Allspring Municipal Cash Management Money Market Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Allspring Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud.

Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Andrew Owen
President
Allspring Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Allspring National Tax-Free Money Market Fund for the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023. Globally, stocks and bonds experienced heightened volatility and historically poor performance through the challenging period. Earlier tailwinds provided by global stimulus programs, vaccination rollouts, and recovering consumer and corporate sentiment were wiped away by the highest rate of inflation in four decades as well as the impact of ongoing aggressive central bank rate hikes and the prospect of more rate hikes. Compounding these concerns were the global reverberations of the Russia-Ukraine war and the impact of China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
For the 12-month period, stocks and bonds––both domestic U.S. and global––suffered losses. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 returned -8.22%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned -5.72%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net) (USD)3 had weaker performance, with a decline of 12.12%. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 returned -8.36%, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 returned -14.18%, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index6 declined 3.25%, and the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index7 fell 5.08%.
The Russia-Ukraine war, high inflation, and central bank rate hikes rocked markets.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine dominated the financial world in February and March. Equity, bond, and commodities markets were shaken by fear, uncertainty, and an upending of demand-supply dynamics. Major global stock indexes were down in February, along with global bonds overall, with heightened volatility in March and mixed results that favored U.S. large-cap stocks. Prices of commodities spiked, including crude oil, natural gas, wheat, and precious metals, on elevated concerns of supply shortages. All of this fueled inflation concerns and added to expectations of more aggressive central bank interest rate hikes. Sweeping sanctions against Russia and corporate pullouts contributed to market volatility. Despite the geopolitical turmoil, the U.S. economic outlook remained largely unchanged, with a healthy job market and signs of economic resilience accompanying higher prices.
In April, market volatility continued, with deepening losses across major capital markets, as both the S&P 500 and MSCI ACWI (Net)8 fell 8% or more for the month. The Chinese economy struggled through a strict lockdown as the government tried to contain a major COVID-19 outbreak. The ensuing global ripple effect compounded existing supply shortages. This was exacerbated by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on global commodities. Meanwhile, U.S. annual inflation raged at 8.5%, its highest level since 1981, and investors braced themselves for aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary tightening moves.

Market volatility continued in May, although markets recovered ground late in the month. Value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. The concerns that had dominated markets for months continued, including high inflation and geopolitical tensions that added to high crude oil, gasoline, and food prices. In response, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.50%, with widescale expectations of more rate hikes. Meanwhile, highly contagious COVID-19 variants persisted. However, labor markets in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe remained strong. U.S. retail sales for April, released in May, indicated a fourth consecutive monthly increase, reflecting continued consumer resilience.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation. The Fed raised its short-term rate by another 0.75% in June. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate held firm at 3.6% and the housing market remained only marginally affected by sharply higher mortgage rates.
Markets rebounded in July, led by U.S. stocks. While evidence began to point to an economic slowdown after two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product (economic contraction), the U.S. labor market remained surprisingly robust: July nonfarm payrolls grew by more than 500,000 and U.S. unemployment dipped to 3.5%. Meanwhile, crude oil and retail gasoline prices, major contributors to recent overall inflation, fell substantially from earlier highs. And while U.S. home prices rose, home sales fell as houses became less affordable with mortgage rates at a 13-year high. The Fed raised the federal funds rate another 0.75% in July—to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%—and forecasts pointed to further rate hikes.
August was yet another broadly challenging month for financial markets, with more red ink flowing. High inflation persisted, cresting 9% in the eurozone on an annual basis and remaining above 8% in the U.S. despite the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy and a major drop in global crude oil and gasoline prices from their June peak. One positive note was the resilience of the U.S. job market. However, the Fed’s job was clearly not complete. One longer-term bright spot was the U.S. Congress’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.  Its primary stated goals include: to reduce inflation (though not immediately) by curbing the deficit, capping health care spending by seniors, and investing in domestic sources of clean energy.
The market misery continued in September. There was nowhere to hide as all asset classes suffered major losses at the hands of persistent inflation. Central banks kept up their battle against rapidly rising prices with more rate hikes. The strength of the U.S. dollar made things even more difficult for investors holding assets in other currencies. U.S. mortgage rates jumped to near 7% on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages; the decreased housing affordability began to cool demand somewhat. The U.K. experienced a sharp sell-off of government bonds and the British pound in September as investors panicked in response to a new government budget that was seen as financially unsound. The market meltdown forced the Bank of England to step in and buy long-dated government bonds.
Equities had a reprieve in October after two months of sharp declines. Value stocks and small caps fared best. Globally, developed markets outpaced emerging market equities, which were hurt by weakness among Chinese stocks. Central banks continued to try to curtail high inflation with aggressive interest rate hikes. Geopolitical risks persisted, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and economic, financial market, and political turmoil in the U.K., which led to a second prime ministerial change in six weeks, as Rishi Sunak replaced Liz Truss in late October. Concerns over Europe’s energy crisis eased thanks to unseasonably warm weather and plentiful gas on hand. The U.S. labor market continued its resilience against rising prices, as unemployment stood at 3.7%, near a record low.
Stocks and bonds rallied in November, with emerging market equities gaining nearly 15% and developed market equities returning 7%. The S&P 500 Index rose 5.6% in November. Bonds also had positive monthly returns. Economic news was encouraging, driven by U.S. labor market strength. Although central banks kept raising rates, hopes rose for an easing in the pace of rate hikes and a possible end to central bank monetary tightening in 2023. Although inflation remained at record highs in the eurozone, we began to see signs of a possible decline in inflationary pressures as U.S. inflation moderated, with a 7.1% annual price rise in November and a monthly price increase of just 0.1%. China’s economic data remained weak, reflecting its zero-COVID-19 policy.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation.

Financial markets cooled in December, with U.S. equities posting negative overall results in response to a weakening U.S. dollar. Fixed income securities ended one of their worst years ever with flat overall monthly returns as markets weighed the hopes for an end to the monetary tightening cycle with the reality that central banks had not completed their jobs yet. U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 data showed a strong consistent trend downward, which brought down the 12-month CPI to 6.5% in December from 9.1% in June. Other countries and regions reported still-high but declining inflation rates as the year winded down.
The year 2023 began with a broad rally across global equities and fixed income securities. Investor optimism rose in response to data indicating declining inflation rates and the reopening of China’s economy with the abrupt end to its zero-COVID-19 policy. The U.S. reported surprisingly strong job gains––employers added more than 500,000 jobs––and unemployment fell to 3.4%, the lowest level since 1969. Meanwhile, wage growth, seen as a potential contributor to ongoing high inflation, continued to moderate. All eyes remained fixed on the Fed and on how many additional rate hikes it will announce before reaching the peak (“terminal”) rate, expected to be above 5%. The 0.25% federal funds rate hike announced in January was the Fed’s smallest rate increase since March 2022.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.

To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Allspring Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles.

MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
During the period, the municipal money markets were not immune to the elevated level of volatility experienced by the broader financial markets as central banks around the globe reversed monetary policies enacted to support the pandemic economy. The swift reversals in central bank monetary policy resulted in large increases in interest rates up and down the curve and ensuing cross-currents of asset flows between sectors. While interest rates in 2021 remained stable near the zero bound as global interest rate policy remained steadily accommodative following the pandemic, in 2022 markets became rattled as central bank policy turned progressively hawkish. As policy rates shifted higher, the markets were forced to contend with ever-changing nominal rates in addition to rapidly changing relative-value ratios.
Portfolio composition as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
In the municipal money markets, the SIFMA Index* began the period at 0.06%, as the Federal Reserve’s policy maintained its policy range for all of 2021 at 0.00% to 0.25%. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the yield curve was relatively flat as high-grade one-year notes yielded approximately 0.20% and municipal money market fund assets were relatively stable following steady outflows in 2021. However, the markets would gradually begin to heat up as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) embarked on its tightening regime during March. The FOMC initiated its policy shift with a 25 basis point (bp; 100 bps equal 1.00%) rate hike at its March 16 meeting. The combination of higher taxable rates and tax-season pressures pushed the SIFMA Index to 0.51% by the end of March. Meanwhile, yields on
one-year paper rose to 0.50%. The municipal money markets generally responded well to the FOMC rate hikes with solid demand for floating-rate notes such as overnight and weekly VRDNs** and tender option bonds (TOBs).
In the second quarter of 2022, the FOMC turned more hawkish as evidence that higher-than-expected inflation readings would prove “transitory” began to fade. During the quarter, the FOMC responded with one 50 bp rate hike in May and two 75 bp rate hikes in June and July. In response, municipal money market rates shifted higher in sympathy with taxable counterparts, with the SIFMA Index finishing the second quarter at 0.91% while one-year paper yields rose to 2.09%. Consequently, higher nominal levels and the return of the benefits of tax-exempt equivalency attracted investors back to municipal money market funds, whose assets rose from $93 billion to $111 billion during the second quarter, according to Crane Data.
Effective maturity distribution as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
During the third quarter, municipal money market yields began to significantly lag taxable counterparts due to strong seasonal pressures beginning in July. As usual, the period experienced exceptionally large principal and interest payments, leading to excess demand across the municipal space. The supply/demand dynamic was exacerbated by another down year in tax-exempt cash flow note issuance as well as by the FOMC delivering three 75 bp rate hikes at the June, July, and September meetings. Municipal money market yields were slow to respond to these outsized moves.
 

* The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA Index) is a seven-day high-grade market index composed of tax-exempt variable-rate demand obligations with certain characteristics. The index is calculated and published by Bloomberg. The index is overseen by SIFMA’s Municipal Swap Index Committee. You cannot invest directly in an index.
** Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs) are debt securities commonly held within certain mutual funds. Like all bonds, VRDN values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable. In addition to credit and interest rate risk, VRDNs are subject to municipal securities risk.

As a result, municipal money market funds saw flows turn negative as the relative attractiveness of taxable yields disappeared. Eventually, the SIFMA Index was forced to play catchup, increasing to 2.46%, while one-year paper rose to 3.24% to close out September.
That rapid increase in rates at the end of September set the table for municipal money market funds to once again attract assets as tax-exempt yields presented value relative to taxable yields once again. The FOMC closed out the year with a 75 bp hike in November, followed by another 50 bp hike in December. In response, the municipal yield curve flattened and then inverted as expectations for the terminal rate for federal funds began to take a more dovish bent. Ultimately, the SIMFA Index closed the month at 3.66%, or 85% of the federal funds effective rate. Meanwhile, further out on the curve, one-year high-grade note yields fell to 2.97%, down from 3.24% at the end of the third quarter. Municipal money market fund assets reached a multi-year high of roughly $117 billion, according to the Crane Data.
The municipal money market sector remained in high demand as the calendar flipped to 2023. The municipal money market yield curve widened during January as strong inflows into tax-exempt money market funds carried over into the first half of the month. Rates in the overnight and weekly sectors dropped precipitously as demand surged due to the combination of early-month fund inflows and seasonal principal and interest reinvestment needs. Assets in municipal money market funds rose to $128 billion at mid-month, up from $118 billion at calendar year-end, according to Crane Data.
This seasonally strong demand for VRDNs and TOBs drove the SIFMA Index lower throughout the month. After closing 2022 at 3.66% (or 85% of the federal funds effective rate), SIFMA fell for four consecutive weeks before closing at 1.66% (or 38% of the federal funds effective rate). This staggering 200 bp drop had the effect of flipping tax-exempts from extremely attractive to extremely rich relative to taxable securities. Further out on the curve, yields on high-grade paper in the one-year space fell from 2.97% at year-end to 2.27% at the end of January as demand continued to outpace supply and market participants began to price in a more dovish monetary policy from the FOMC. As a result of the significant drop in rates throughout the month, municipal money market funds experienced consistent outflows closer to month-end.
During the period, we continued to emphasize portfolio liquidity by targeting our purchases predominantly in daily
and weekly VRDNs and TOBs. This strategy benefited our funds as these floating-rate securities were able to quickly capture the higher levels presented as the FOMC tightened its monetary policy. With expectations of additional increases in the federal funds target, we remained very selective in our term investments.
Strategic outlook
Looking forward to the next period, we expect to continue to maintain our overweight to VRDNs and TOBs in order to take advantage of higher interest rates while maintaining principal stability and portfolio liquidity. We believe our portfolio will be well positioned to take advantage of higher short-term rates as market participants expect the FOMC to continue to increase rates during the first half of the year. Additionally, we continue to believe that the overnight and weekly sectors will remain the most attractive spots on the municipal curve.
Weighted average maturity as of January 31, 20231
15 days
1 Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
    
Weighted average life as of January 31, 20231
18 days
1 Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs including management fees, shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. 
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare 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 the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Allspring Funds Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Allspring National Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the "Fund") which is a diversified series of the Trust.
Consistent with Rule 2a-7, the Board of Trustees of the Fund is permitted to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions from the Fund or a redemption gate (i.e., a suspension of the right to redeem) in the event that the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. If the Fund’s weekly liquid assets (as defined in Rule 2a-7(34)) fall below 30% of the Fund’s total assets, the Board of Trustees is permitted, but not required, to: (i) impose a liquidity fee of no more than 2% of the amount redeemed; and/or (ii) impose a redemption gate. If the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of the Fund’s total assets, the Fund must impose, generally as of the beginning of the next business day, a liquidity fee of 1% of the amount redeemed unless the Board of Trustees determines that such a fee is not in the best interest of the Fund or determines that a lower or higher fee (subject to the 2% limit) is in the best interest of the Fund. Liquidity fees reduce the amount a shareholder receives upon redemption of its shares. The Fund retains any liquidity fees for the benefit of remaining shareholders. The Board of Trustees did not impose any liquidity fees and/or redemption gates during the year ended January 31, 2023.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, LLC ("Allspring Funds Management"), which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Management's process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Allspring Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price (including accrued interest). The repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund's commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are valued using amortized cost which approximates market

Notes to financial statements
value and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund's fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund's distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of January 31, 2023, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common fund-level expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
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 in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed to waive and/or reimburse management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund.  When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Allspring Funds Management will waive fees and/or reimburse expenses from fund-level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses.  When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses.  Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed through May 31, 2023 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap expenses.  Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. In addition to the contractual waivers and/or reimbursements, Allspring Funds Management also voluntarily waived certain class-level expenses during the year ended January 31, 2023 in order to maintain a positive yield.  These voluntary class-level waivers may be discontinued at any time.  As of January 31, 2023, the contractual expense caps are as follows:

Administrator Class 0.30

A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund had $747,074,000, $609,660,000 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the year ended January 31, 2023.

6. MARKET RISKS
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, the funds, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may last for an extended period of time. COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund's organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Trustees
Allspring Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Allspring National Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Allspring Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies; however, we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Andrew Owen
President
Allspring Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Allspring Treasury Plus Money Market Fund for the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2023. Globally, stocks and bonds experienced heightened volatility and historically poor performance through the challenging period. Earlier tailwinds provided by global stimulus programs, vaccination rollouts, and recovering consumer and corporate sentiment were wiped away by the highest rate of inflation in four decades as well as the impact of ongoing aggressive central bank rate hikes and the prospect of more rate hikes. Compounding these concerns were the global reverberations of the Russia-Ukraine war and the impact of China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
For the 12-month period, stocks and bonds––both domestic U.S. and global––suffered losses. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 returned -8.22%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned -5.72%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net) (USD)3 had weaker performance, with a decline of 12.12%. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 returned -8.36%, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 returned -14.18%, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index6 declined 3.25%, and the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index7 fell 5.08%.
The Russia-Ukraine war, high inflation, and central bank rate hikes rocked markets.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine dominated the financial world in February and March. Equity, bond, and commodities markets were shaken by fear, uncertainty, and an upending of demand-supply dynamics. Major global stock indexes were down in February, along with global bonds overall, with heightened volatility in March and mixed results that favored U.S. large-cap stocks. Prices of commodities spiked, including crude oil, natural gas, wheat, and precious metals, on elevated concerns of supply shortages. All of this fueled inflation concerns and added to expectations of more aggressive central bank interest rate hikes. Sweeping sanctions against Russia and corporate pullouts contributed to market volatility. Despite the geopolitical turmoil, the U.S. economic outlook remained largely unchanged, with a healthy job market and signs of economic resilience accompanying higher prices.
In April, market volatility continued, with deepening losses across major capital markets, as both the S&P 500 and MSCI ACWI (Net)8 fell 8% or more for the month. The Chinese economy struggled through a strict lockdown as the government tried to contain a major COVID-19 outbreak. The ensuing global ripple effect compounded existing supply shortages. This was exacerbated by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on global commodities. Meanwhile, U.S. annual inflation raged at 8.5%, its highest level since 1981, and investors braced themselves for aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary tightening moves.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine dominated the financial world in February and March. Equity, bond, and commodities markets were shaken by fear, uncertainty, and an upending of demand-supply dynamics

Market volatility continued in May, although markets recovered ground late in the month. Value stocks continued to outperform growth stocks. The concerns that had dominated markets for months continued, including high inflation and geopolitical tensions that added to high crude oil, gasoline, and food prices. In response, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.50%, with widescale expectations of more rate hikes. Meanwhile, highly contagious COVID-19 variants persisted. However, labor markets in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe remained strong. U.S. retail sales for April, released in May, indicated a fourth consecutive monthly increase, reflecting continued consumer resilience.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation. The Fed raised its short-term rate by another 0.75% in June. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate held firm at 3.6% and the housing market remained only marginally affected by sharply higher mortgage rates.
Markets rebounded in July, led by U.S. stocks. While evidence began to point to an economic slowdown after two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product (economic contraction), the U.S. labor market remained surprisingly robust: July nonfarm payrolls grew by more than 500,000 and U.S. unemployment dipped to 3.5%. Meanwhile, crude oil and retail gasoline prices, major contributors to recent overall inflation, fell substantially from earlier highs. And while U.S. home prices rose, home sales fell as houses became less affordable with mortgage rates at a 13-year high. The Fed raised the federal funds rate another 0.75% in July—to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%—and forecasts pointed to further rate hikes.
August was yet another broadly challenging month for financial markets, with more red ink flowing. High inflation persisted, cresting 9% in the eurozone on an annual basis and remaining above 8% in the U.S. despite the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy and a major drop in global crude oil and gasoline prices from their June peak. One positive note was the resilience of the U.S. job market. However, the Fed’s job was clearly not complete. One longer-term bright spot was the U.S. Congress’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.  Its primary stated goals include: to reduce inflation (though not immediately) by curbing the deficit, capping health care spending by seniors, and investing in domestic sources of clean energy.
The market misery continued in September. There was nowhere to hide as all asset classes suffered major losses at the hands of persistent inflation. Central banks kept up their battle against rapidly rising prices with more rate hikes. The strength of the U.S. dollar made things even more difficult for investors holding assets in other currencies. U.S. mortgage rates jumped to near 7% on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages; the decreased housing affordability began to cool demand somewhat. The U.K. experienced a sharp sell-off of government bonds and the British pound in September as investors panicked in response to a new government budget that was seen as financially unsound. The market meltdown forced the Bank of England to step in and buy long-dated government bonds.
Equities had a reprieve in October after two months of sharp declines. Value stocks and small caps fared best. Globally, developed markets outpaced emerging market equities, which were hurt by weakness among Chinese stocks. Central banks continued to try to curtail high inflation with aggressive interest rate hikes. Geopolitical risks persisted, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and economic, financial market, and political turmoil in the U.K., which led to a second prime ministerial change in six weeks, as Rishi Sunak replaced Liz Truss in late October. Concerns over Europe’s energy crisis eased thanks to unseasonably warm weather and plentiful gas on hand. The U.S. labor market continued its resilience against rising prices, as unemployment stood at 3.7%, near a record low.
Stocks and bonds rallied in November, with emerging market equities gaining nearly 15% and developed market equities returning 7%. The S&P 500 Index rose 5.6% in November. Bonds also had positive monthly returns. Economic news was encouraging, driven by U.S. labor market strength. Although central banks kept raising rates, hopes rose for an easing in the pace of rate hikes and a possible end to central bank monetary tightening in 2023. Although inflation remained at record highs in the eurozone, we began to see signs of a possible decline in inflationary pressures as U.S. inflation moderated, with a 7.1% annual price rise in November and a monthly price increase of just 0.1%. China’s economic data remained weak, reflecting its zero-COVID-19 policy.
In June, stocks posted further losses en route to their worst first half of a year in 50 years. Bonds didn’t fare much better. Driving the losses were the familiar factors: rising global inflation and fears of recession as central banks increased rates to try to curb soaring inflation.

Financial markets cooled in December, with U.S. equities posting negative overall results in response to a weakening U.S. dollar. Fixed income securities ended one of their worst years ever with flat overall monthly returns as markets weighed the hopes for an end to the monetary tightening cycle with the reality that central banks had not completed their jobs yet. U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 data showed a strong consistent trend downward, which brought down the 12-month CPI to 6.5% in December from 9.1% in June. Other countries and regions reported still-high but declining inflation rates as the year winded down.
The year 2023 began with a broad rally across global equities and fixed income securities. Investor optimism rose in response to data indicating declining inflation rates and the reopening of China’s economy with the abrupt end to its zero-COVID-19 policy. The U.S. reported surprisingly strong job gains––employers added more than 500,000 jobs––and unemployment fell to 3.4%, the lowest level since 1969. Meanwhile, wage growth, seen as a potential contributor to ongoing high inflation, continued to moderate. All eyes remained fixed on the Fed and on how many additional rate hikes it will announce before reaching the peak (“terminal”) rate, expected to be above 5%. The 0.25% federal funds rate hike announced in January was the Fed’s smallest rate increase since March 2022.

MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
The fiscal year that ended January 31, 2023, saw a sea change in the interest rate environment as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised rates 4.25% over the period, taking its target range for the effective federal funds rate from 0.00% to 0.25% at the beginning of the year to 4.25% to 4.50% at the end. The Fed also stopped buying Treasury and mortgage-backed securities as part of its quantitative easing program in March 2022. It also began to allow the securities in its portfolio to mature without reinvestment— which shrinks its balance sheet and thus tightens monetary conditions and is known as quantitative tightening— beginning in June. In summary, the period began with the Fed in a very accommodative monetary policy stance and ended with it having rapidly removed accommodation throughout the year.
Portfolio composition as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
The Fed changed its approach because the economy evolved in ways that affected its mandates. Where previously the Fed was attempting to aid the economy to improve employment, and in the belief that pandemic-era price increases would prove to be transitory, the Fed realized that it needed to abruptly change its stance when labor markets remained stubbornly strong and prices throughout the economy continued to rise at a pace not seen for decades. The unemployment rate began the fiscal year at 4.0%, down from its pandemic peak of 14.8% in April 2020, and fell to 3.4% by fiscal year-end. After beginning the fiscal year at 6.0%, a multi-decade high, the PCE Price Index,* the Fed’s preferred price measure, ended the fiscal year only marginally lower at 5.0%, still far above its target of 2%. By tightening monetary policy, the Fed intends to slow the economy, weaken the labor market, and weaken demand sufficiently to reduce inflation.
Effective maturity distribution as of January 31, 20231
1 Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's total investments. Allocations are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
Interest rates on all categories of government money market securities increased nearly in lockstep with the Fed’s interest rate increases. For example, 3-month Treasury bills (T-bills) yielded 0.18% at the beginning of the fiscal year before rising to 4.66% at fiscal year-end. Similarly, 6-month T-bills yielded 0.45% and 4.78% at the beginning and end of the fiscal year, respectively. The yields on repurchase agreements (repos) were also very low at the beginning of the fiscal year and rose as the Fed increased rates. Overnight Treasury repo rates, as measured by the Fed’s Secured Overnight Financing Rate, began the period at 0.05% and ended it at 4.30%.
Our investment strategy remained consistent throughout the year. We invested in T-bills and U.S. Treasury notes —including floating-rate notes—as well as repos collateralized by Treasury securities while taking into account the Fund’s overall level of liquidity and average maturity.
Strategic outlook
The Fed’s rapid interest rate increases in 2022 are an indication of how far inflation had risen above its target. Because it had let interest rates stay near zero for too long, the Fed needed to raise rates more aggressively than it or market participants had expected. Interest rate changes are thought to affect the economy on a delayed basis, so the impact of the recent increases has likely not yet been fully seen. As a result, there is significant uncertainty about the direction of the economy and the outlook for interest rates in the upcoming fiscal year. It is possible the significant interest rate increases over the past year will materially slow the economy, perhaps spurring a recession, and bring inflation back down nearer to its target of 2%. In that event,

interest rates may not rise much higher, and they may fall later in the year. On the other hand, the tight labor market and rising wages may cause inflation to remain stubbornly high, leading the Fed to continue to raise rates, albeit at a slower pace, and to keep rates elevated for longer. The Fed has so far indicated in its recent actions and communications that it intends to slow the pace of its interest rate hikes to allow time to evaluate the impact of last year’s actions on the economy. Beyond that, the economy’s evolution will determine the Fed’s path.
Weighted average maturity as of January 31, 20231
6 days
1 Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): WAM is an average of the effective maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. WAM calculations allow for the maturities of certain securities with demand features or periodic interest rate resets to be shortened. WAM is a way to measure a fund’s sensitivity to potential interest rate changes. WAM is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.
    
Weighted average life as of January 31, 20231
48 days
1 Weighted Average Life (WAL): WAL is an average of the final maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by their percentage of total investments. The maturity of a portfolio security is the period remaining until the date on which the principal amount is unconditionally required to be paid, or in the case of a security called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment is unconditionally required to be made. In contrast to WAM, the calculation of WAL allows for the maturities of certain securities with demand features to be shortened, but not the periodic interest rate resets. WAL is a way to measure a fund’s potential sensitivity to credit spread changes. WAL is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs including management fees, shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023. 
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare 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 the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Allspring Funds Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Allspring Treasury Plus Money Market Fund (the "Fund") which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments which are not valued using the method discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, LLC ("Allspring Funds Management"), which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Management's process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Allspring Funds Management. Repurchase agreements are agreements where the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase that security from the Fund at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price (including accrued interest). The repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. There could be potential loss to the Fund in the event that the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund's fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund's distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.

Notes to financial statements
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of January 31, 2023, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in shareholder servicing and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common fund-level expenses, and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:
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 in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2023:
  Quoted prices
(Level 1)
Other significant
observable inputs
(Level 2)

For the year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.

For the year ended January 31, 2023, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.14% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Allspring Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Allspring Funds Management. Allspring Global Investments, LLC, an affiliate of Allspring Funds Management and a wholly owned subsidiary of Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Allspring Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Allspring Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Allspring Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:

Class A 0.22%
Administrator Class 0.10
Institutional Class 0.08
Select Class 0.04
Service Class 0.12
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed to waive and/or reimburse management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund.  When each class of the Fund has exceeded its expense cap, Allspring Funds Management will waive fees and/or reimburse expenses from fund-level expenses on a proportionate basis and then from class specific expenses.  When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses.  Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed through May 31, 2023 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap expenses.  Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. In addition to the contractual waivers and/or reimbursements, Allspring Funds Management also voluntarily waived certain class-level expenses during the year ended January 31, 2023 in order to maintain a positive yield.  These voluntary class-level waivers may be discontinued at any time.  As of January 31, 2023, the contractual expense caps are as follows:

A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices.
5. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

6. MARKET RISKS
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, the funds, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may last for an extended period of time. COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund's organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Trustees
Allspring Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Allspring Treasury Plus Money Market Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Allspring Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies; however, we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Allspring Funds investment companies since at least 1955.
