less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher
than the performance data quoted. For performance information current to the

exchanges of shares made less than 30 days after the settlement of purchase
or acquisition through exchange, with certain exceptions. See the Fund's
current prospectus for further information.

All Lipper ratings reflect historical performance as of 3/31/10:
1. Total Return rating reflects funds' historical total
return performance relative to peers; 2. Tax Efficiency
(US) rating reflects funds' historical success in postponing taxable
distributions relative to peers. Tax Efficiency (US) offers no benefit to
investors in tax-sheltered accounts such as retirement plans. 3.
Preservation rating reflects funds' historical loss avoidance relative to
other funds within the same asset class; Preservation ratings are relative,
rather than absolute, measures, and funds named Lipper Leaders for
Preservation may still experience losses periodically. 4.
Expense rating reflects funds' expense minimization relative to peers with
similar load structures. A "5" rating is Lipper's top rating,
representing "Lipper Leader" status. The Lipper ratings are
subject to change every month and are based on an equal-weighted average of
percentile ranks for the Total Return, Preservation, Tax Efficiency, and
Expense metrics over three-, five-, and ten-year periods (if applicable).
The highest 20% of funds in each peer group are named Lipper Leader or a
score of 5, the next 20% receive a score of 4, the middle 20% are scored 3,
the next 20% are scored 2, and the lowest 20% are scored 1.Lipper ratings
are not intended to predict future results, and Lipper does not guarantee
the accuracy of this information. More information is available at www.lipperweb.com.

The performance information quoted above does not reflect the
deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the
redemption of Fund shares. Total return is based on the Fund's net asset
values and assumes all dividends and capital gains were reinvested. An
investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured. You may lose
money. Certain fees payable by the Fund were waived during the period, and
the Fund's average annual total returns would have been lower had these not
been waived.
The Domini Social Bond Fund is not insured and is subject to
market risks, including interest rate and credit risks. During periods of
rising interest rates, bond funds can lose value. The Domini Social Bond Fund
currently holds a large percentage of its portfolio in mortgage-backed
securities. During periods of falling interest rates, mortgage-backed
securities may prepay the principal due, which may lower the Fund's return by
causing it to reinvest at lower interest rates. Some of the Domini Social
Bond Fund's community development investments may be unrated and carry
greater credit risks than its other investments.
Although the Domini Social Bond Fund is no-load, certain fees
and expenses apply to a continued investment and are described in the
prospectus. The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change. The
Barclays Capital Intermediate Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index of
intermediate-duration fixed-income securities. You cannot invest directly in
an index.
View or call
1-800-582-6757 to receive a copy of the Funds' current prospectus for more
complete information on these and other topics. Please read the prospectus
carefully before investing or sending money.
