OVERVIEW OF PROXY STATEMENT

A Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Domini Social Equity Fund, the Domini European Social Equity Fund and the Domini Social Bond Fund (the "Fund"(together, at times referred to below as the “Funds,” and individually as a “Fund”) will be held at Bingham McCutchen LLP, 150 Federal Street, 16th16th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts, on June 28, 2005,August 15, 2006, at 10:11:00 am, Eastern Time, for the purposes described in thisthe proxy statement.

We encourage you to read thisthe proxy statement carefully before casting your vote. We have prepared the following questions and answers in order to help make your decision easier. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call us at 1-888-414-5566. Q. What1-800-423-2107.

Q.

Why are shareholders of the Domini Social Equity Fund being asked to approve a new Management Agreement with Domini Social Investments LLC (Proposal 2) and a Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management Company, LLP (Proposal 3)?

A.

These proposals are presented in order to effect a change in strategy for the Domini Social Equity Fund.

Currently, the Domini Social Equity Fund is a passively managed index fund. It must continue to invest in the rolestocks of the companies included in the Domini 400 Social IndexSM(“the “Index”) in exactly the same proportion as the Index, regardless of how the Index is performing. Management cannot shift the Fund’s portfolio concentration from one industry to another or from one stock to another, to enhance performance.

Domini Social Investments LLC (“Domini”), the Fund’s manager, believes that shareholders would be better served by an active investment strategy.An active investment strategy would provide management with the flexibility to adjust the portfolio as market conditions change. The Fund will continue to seek to provide shareholders with long-term total return.

- ii -

Domini believes that an active investment strategy will allow the Fund to more effectively capitalize on the strengths of social and environmental investment standards. Domini’s review of the long-term track record of the Fund demonstrates that social and environmental analysis has led to strong individual stock selection. Domini believes that social and environmental standards help to identify companies that are led by forward-looking management teams, with positive corporate cultures, and that these companies make better long-term investments. A passive investment strategy, however, limits the Fund’s ability to capitalize on this stock selection advantage, because it requires that the Fund invest in the stocks of all of the companies included in the Index, in exactly the same proportion as the Index.

Domini and Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington Management”) have developed a strategy that is designed to combine the strength of Domini’s social and environmental standards with Wellington Management’s quantitative investment analysis. Domini believes that this new approach will generate positive financial returns to shareholders, while remaining consistent with the Fund’s unwavering commitment to socially responsible investing.

In order to effect this new strategy, Fund shareholders are being asked to approve a new management agreement with Domini, which includes an increase in fees, and the submanagement agreement with Wellington Management, in each case as discussed below.

There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to achieve its investment objective. The Fund is subject to market risks, and is not insured. Actively managed funds carry different risks than index funds, including the risk that higher portfolio turnover may generate higher taxable distributions to shareholders. There is also a risk that the quantitative model that the submanager uses to select stocks may fail to produce the intended results.

- iii -

Q.

Will this proposed change affect the Fund’s commitment to socially responsible investing?

A.

No. Domini has no intention of changing its steadfast commitment to socially responsible investing. The proposed new investment strategy reflects Domini’s strong belief that the use of social and environmental standards to select investments leads to better stock picking (as well as more responsible corporate behavior). The new strategy that Domini is proposing is designed to strengthen the use of social and environmental standards. The new strategy is also designed to allow the Fund to maintain its strong commitment to shareholder activism.

Domini will maintain exclusive control over the definition and application of its social and environmental standards. Wellington Management will not be permitted to purchase any securities that have not been approved by Domini.

Q.

If Proposals 2 and 3 are approved, how will securities be selected for the Fund?

A.

The proposed investment process consists of two basic components – Domini’s social and environmental analysis and Wellington Management’s quantitative approach.

Domini’s in-house research department will analyze a universe of approximately 1,000 of the largest U.S. companies using Domini’s social and environmental standards. These standards are maintained by a Standards Committee that includes Amy Domini, Domini’s Founder and CEO, and Steven Lydenberg, Domini’s Chief Investment Officer. Domini will provide Wellington Management with a list of securities that it determines are consistent with these standards. Domini will periodically review and update this list of approved stocks based on its ongoing social and environmental analysis.

As submanager for the Fund, Wellington Management will employ an active investment strategy seeking to provide shareholders with long-term total return by investing primarily in stocks of U.S. companies that have been approved by Domini.

- iv -

Wellington Management will seek to add value using a diversified quantitative stock selection approach, while managing risk through portfolio construction. Using a proprietary quantitative model, Wellington Management will rank securities according to value and momentum characteristics, and will seek to invest in those stocks that it believes are undervalued by the market and whose fundamental and technical momentum attributes are attractive. Wellington Management will also use optimization techniques designed to reduce industry and sector biases.

There will be no requirement that every security that is approved by Domini for investment be owned by the Fund. However, as noted above, Wellington Management will not be permitted to purchase any securities that have not been approved by Domini.

The Fund’s performance benchmark will remain the S&P 500.

Q.

If the new Management Agreement with Domini is approved, will shareholders of the Domini Social Equity Fund pay higher expenses?

A.

Yes. Because Domini will need to pay more in submanagement fees and will be providing additional services with respect to the management of the Domini Social Equity Fund, Domini is proposing to increase its fees. This will result in an increase in the expenses that shareholders will pay.Domini believes that the new active investment strategy it is proposing will result in enhanced financial returns to shareholders and that the proposed expenses are fair and reasonable.

Please note that if the new management agreement and the submanagement agreement with Wellington Management are approved, Domini will contractually agree to cap expenses for the Investor share class to 1.15% until at least November 30, 2007, subject to annual renewal.

The Fund’s Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed a comparison between the proposed fees (both before and after

- v -

giving effect to the proposed expense cap) and the fees of similar funds. In its review, the Board noted that the proposed expenses to shareholders are below the industry average of the relevant peer group. In addition, during its review of the submanagement agreement between Domini and Wellington Management (the subject of Proposal 3), the Board evaluated Wellington Management’s fees and the fees other funds of comparable size pay for submanagement services. A more complete discussion of the factors considered by the Board of Trustees? A. Trustees is provided in Part 2 of the proxy statement.

The Board of Trustees has determined that the important responsibility of protecting your interests as shareholders. It oversees the operations of the Fund, and makes sure that all decisionsproposed fees are fair and reasonable to Fund shareholders.

Q.

Why are shareholders of the Domini Social Equity Fund being asked to approve the submanagement agreement with Wellington Management Company, LLP?

A.

In order to effect the change in strategy discussed above, Wellington Management is being proposed as the new submanager of the Domini Social Equity Trust (the fund in which the Domini Social Equity Fund invests substantially all of its assets). If the new management agreement and the submanagement agreement with Wellington Management are approved, Wellington Management will replace SSgA Funds Management, Inc. as the submanager of the Domini Social Equity Trust on November 30, 2006.

As of April 30, 2006, Wellington Management managed approximately $550 billion in your best interests. The Fund's Board of Trusteesassets, and has been in operation for more than 70 years. Wellington Management is made up of eight individuals, seven of whom are "independent" meaning that they have no formal affiliation with Domini Social Investments LLC ("Domini") (the manager of the Fund) or the Fund except in the role they play as Trustees. In addition, the Trustees are represented by independent legal counsel to further ensure that shareholder interests remain paramount. Q. Why are shareholders of the Fund being asked to approve the submanagement agreement with Seix Advisors? A. On March 1, 2005, Domini replaced ShoreBank with Seix Advisors, the fixed-income division of Trusco Capital Management, Inc., as the submanager of the Domini European Social Bond Fund. Shareholders of the Fund are being askedEquity Trust, and manages approximately $24.2 billion in assets subject to approve the submanagement agreement with Seix Advisors in accordance with applicable law. Trusco Capital Management is a wholly owned subsidiary of SunTrust Banks, Inc. Associal or environmental standards, as of March 31, 2005, Trusco Capital Management managed more than $69.6 billion in assets. -2- 2006.

The Board of Trustees carefully reviewed Seix Advisors'Wellington Management’s capabilities and track record and unanimously approved its selection. WeDomini and the Board believe that Seix AdvisorsWellington Management will be able to provide the FundDomini Social Equity Trust with strong, long-term service. Q. How does

- vi -

Q.

Why are shareholders of each Fund being asked to authorize the Trustees to select and change submanagers and enter into submanagement agreements in the future without the approval of shareholders?

A.

The intention of this proposal is to provide the Trustees the flexibility to change a Fund’s submanager in the future, should this be deemed necessary, without having to go through the substantial time and expense of a shareholder proxy. Approval of this proposal will facilitate the efficient supervision and management of the Funds by Domini and the Trustees. Any proposed submanager changes would still need to be reviewed and approved by the Trustees. This proposal would not give Domini the authority to replace a submanager without Trustee approval.

In addition to shareholder approval of Proposal 4, each Fund will need to obtain exemptive relief from the Board ofSecurities and Exchange Commission for its Trustees recommendto be able to select and change investment submanagers and enter into investment submanagement agreements in the future without shareholder approval.

Please note that I vote? A. The Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed thethis proposal to approve a new submanagement agreement with Seix Advisors and unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the proposal on the enclosed proxy card. A discussion of the factors thatwould not permit the Trustees considered before granting their approval is included in Part 3 of this proxy statement. Q. If the proposal to approve the submanagement agreement with Seix Advisors is approved, will there be any change inreplace Domini Social Investments LLC as the investment strategies used by the Fund? A. No. There is no current intention to changemanager of any of the Funds without complying with the Investment Company Act of 1940 and applicable regulations governing shareholder approval of investment strategies or the investment objectivesadvisory contracts.

Q.

What is the role of the Board of Trustees?

A.

The Board of Trustees has the important responsibility of protecting your interests as a Domini Funds shareholder. One board consisting of seven individuals, six of whom are “independent”, oversees the operations of each of the Funds. The Trustees act as your representatives, and base their decisions on your best interests as a Fund shareholder. In addition, the independent Trustees are represented by independent legal counsel to provide counsel and guidance in connection with determining the best interests of shareholders.

Proposal 1 seeks your approval of the Fund, including the Fund's commitment to principlescurrent Board of socially responsible investing. We are asking you to approve the proposal described in this proxy statement because we believe,Trustees. You may read their biographies and learn more about the Board of Trustees believes, that it is in your best interests. Q. If the proposal to approve the submanagement agreement with Seix Advisors is approved, will this affect the expenses that Fund shareholders must pay? A. No. ApprovalPart 2 of the submanagement agreement will have no effect upon the amount of advisory fees paid by Fund shareholders. The expense of Seix Advisors' submanagement fees is borne by Domini, not by the Fund or its shareholders. Q. What role will Seix Advisors play in managing the Fund? A. As submanager for the Domini Social Bond Fund, Seix Advisors will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. In -3- addition, Seix Advisors will provide Domini with various reports that Domini requires to supervise the management of the Fund. Q. Why did Domini decide to terminate the Fund's submanagement agreement with ShoreBank? A. Domini has enjoyed a long and collegial relationship with ShoreBank, the nation's first and leading community development and environmental banking corporation. Domini continues to offer the Domini Money Market Account, a pass-through account to ShoreBank that allows our investors to use their cash to support the bank's community development work. When Domini launched the Domini Social Bond Fund, the Fund was the first mutual fund to be submanaged by a community development financial institution. Domini and ShoreBank are proud of that achievement, and of our work together to build the Fund to where it is today. However, the Fund was ShoreBank's only mutual fund client, and as assets grew we came to the mutual recognition that the Fund's shareholders would be best served by an investment adviser managing other mutual funds, such as Seix Advisors. Q. How do I vote? A. You can vote by mail, by telephone, or on the Internet. Please see the instructions set forth on the top portion of the enclosed proxy card. You can also vote in person, by attending the Special Meeting of Shareholders.

Master/Feeder Fund Structure

Each of the Domini Social Equity Fund and the Domini European Social Equity Fund is an open-enda “feeder fund” in a “master/feeder” fund structure. This means that the Fund does not invest directly in a portfolio of securities. Instead, it seeks to achieve its investment company, or mutual fund. The Fund seeks a high level of current income and total returnobjective by investing in bondsa “master fund” that has the same investment objective and other debt instruments that pass multiple, broad-based social and environmental screens. Thepolicies. Accordingly, the Equity Fund currently employsinvests substantially all of its assets in the Domini Social Investments LLC ("Domini"Equity Trust (the “Master Equity Fund”) and the European Equity Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Domini European Social Equity Trust (the “Master European Fund”). Each of the Master Equity Fund and the Master European Fund are sometimes referred to in this proxy statement as a “Master Fund” and, together, as the “Master Funds”.

Each Master Fund has asked its investment manager. Priorinvestors, including each feeder fund, to March 1, 2005, Domini employed ShoreBankvote on certain matters at a meeting of that Master Fund’s investors. Under applicable law, each of the Equity Fund and the European Equity Fund, when asked to vote on matters as an investment submanagerinvestor in a Master Fund, must either seek instructions from Fund shareholders and vote in accordance with those instructions, or vote its interest in the Master Fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other investors in the Master Fund. Fund shareholders are being asked to manage the investments of the Fundvote on a day-to-day basis. At the regular meeting ofcertain proposals described in this proxy statement because the Board of Trustees heldhas decided to seek instructions from the shareholders of each of the Equity Fund and the European Equity Fund on January 28, 2005,how to vote on these matters. This in effect allows the Fund shareholders to have the same voting rights as if they were direct investors in the Master Fund.

Because there are investors in each Master Fund besides the Equity Fund and the European Equity Fund, it is possible that a Proposal concerning a Master Fund will not be approved by the requisite vote, even if the Proposal is approved by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund. It is also possible that a Proposal concerning a Master Fund will be approved by the requisite vote, even if the Proposal is not approved by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund.

The Bond Fund invests directly in a portfolio of securities and not in a “master/feeder” fund structure.

Summary of Proposals

Proposal 1.

To be voted on by all shareholders:

To Elect a Board of Trustees voted.

The Funds are proposing that you elect Amy L. Domini, Julia Elizabeth Harris, Kirsten S. Moy, William C. Osborn, Karen Paul, Gregory A. Ratliff and John L. Shields as Trustees of the Funds. Each of the Domini Social Equity Fund and the Domini European Social Equity Fund, as an investor in a Master Fund, is also asking its shareholders to terminatevote in favor of the submanagement agreementelection of the same individuals to serve as Trustees of that Master Fund. Each of the nominees is currently a Trustee of the Funds and the Master Funds. See Proposal 1 in Part 2 of this proxy statement for more information.

Proposal 2.

To be voted on by shareholders of the Domini Social Equity Fund only:

To approve a new Management Agreement between the Domini Social Equity Trust and Domini Social Investments LLC.

Currently, the Domini Social Equity Trust (the Master Fund in which the Equity Fund invests) is passively managed. Domini believes that shareholders would be better served if management pursued an active investment strategy. An active investment strategy would provide management with the flexibility to adjust the portfolio as market conditions change. Because of the increased expenses that Domini will need to pay if the Master Equity Fund pursues an active investment strategy, Domini has determined it is necessary to increase its management fee. Domini believes that the proposed new strategy will result in enhanced financial returns to shareholders and that the proposed new management fee is fair and reasonable.

Shareholders are being asked to approve a new Management Agreement that will reflect the proposed increase in the management fee. Other than the increased management fee, the new Management Agreement is the same as the Management Agreement currently in

- 6 -

effect. See Proposal 2 in Part 2 of this proxy statement for more information.

Proposal 3.

To be voted on by shareholders of the Domini Social Equity Fund only:

To approve a Submanagement Agreement for the Domini Social Equity Trust between Wellington Management Company, LLP and Domini Social Investments LLC.

In order to execute the change from a passive investment strategy to an active investment strategy, Wellington Management is being proposed as the new submanager of the Domini Social Equity Trust. Domini and ShoreBank asWellington Management have developed a strategy that is designed to combine the strength of February 28, 2005,Domini’s social and authorized Dominienvironmental standards with Wellington Management’s quantitative analysis.

Shareholders are asked to enter intoapprove a submanagement agreement with Seix Advisors,Wellington Management. If the fixed-income division of Trusco Capitalnew Management Inc. TheAgreement and submanagement agreement with Seix Advisors wentWellington Management are approved, they will go into effect on March 1, 2005. In accordance with the requirementsNovember 30, 2006. See Proposal 3 in Part 2 of this proxy statement for more information.

Proposal 4.

To be voted on by all shareholders:

To authorize the Trustees to select and change investment submanagers and enter into investment submanagement agreements without the approval of shareholders.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"“1940 Act”) requires that all investment management and submanagement contracts be approved by shareholders. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has previously provided exemptions from the requirement that shareholders approve of submanagement contracts

- 7 -

as long as certain conditions are satisfied, including shareholder approval of this proposal.

If this proposal is approved and the Funds obtain similar exemptive relief from the SEC, the Trustees will be able to select and change investment submanagers without obtaining the approval of shareholders. The Trustees will not, however, be able to replace Domini as the investment manager without complying with the 1940 Act and applicable regulations governing shareholder approval of investment management contracts. Any proposed submanager changes will still need to be reviewed and approved by the Trustees.

Each Master Fund is also asking its investors to vote on this matter. By voting in favor of Proposal 4, shareholders of the Domini Social Equity Fund and the Domini European Social Equity Fund will be authorizing the respective Fund to vote in favor of this matter at the meeting of the Master Fund’s investors. See Proposal 4 in Part 2 of this proxy statement for more information.

PART 2.

THE PROPOSALS.

Proposal 1.

To elect a Board of Trustees

You are being asked to elect a Board of Trustees of the Funds. The nominees for the Board of Trustees of the Funds are Amy L. Domini, Julia Elizabeth Harris, Kirsten S. Moy, William C. Osborn, Karen Paul, Gregory A. Ratliff, and John L. Shields. All nominees are currently Trustees of the Funds. As reflected in the table below, six of the seven nominees are not “interested persons” within the meaning of the 1940 Act and are sometimes referred to in this proxy statement as “Independent Trustees”. As discussed below, the Board maintains an audit and nominating committee, both of which consist entirely of Independent Trustees. The Board includes five women or minorities (without double counting).

At a meeting of the Master Funds’ investors, each of the Domini Social Equity Fund and the Domini European Social Equity Fund will be asked to elect the same nominees as Trustees of the Master Funds. By voting for any of the nominees to the Board of Trustees of the Funds, shareholders of the Equity Fund and the European Equity Fund will be authorizing the respective Fund to vote for that nominee at the meeting of the Master Fund’s investors.

Neither the Funds nor the Master Funds hold annual shareholder meetings for the purpose of electing Trustees, and Trustees are not elected for fixed terms.This means that each Trustee will be elected to hold office until his or her successor is elected or until he or she retires, resigns, dies, or is removed from office.Under the Declaration of Trust for each of the Funds and the Master Funds, the number of trustees has been fixed at eight. Mr. Frederick C. Williamson Sr. retired from the Board effective May 1, 2006. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. The Board of Trustees of the Funds and the Master Funds has adopted a policy governing the tenure and retirement of the Independent Trustees. Under this policy, each Independent Trustee will serve for ten years. New Trustees shall be added every five years. The policy provides that Mr. Osborn and Ms. Paul will retire in 2010 and be replaced by two new trustees that will serve a ten year term; two of Ms. Harris, Ms. Moy and Mr. Ratliff will

- 10 -

retire in 2015 and be replaced by two new trustees that will serve a ten year term; and Mr. Shields and the Trustee out of the group of Ms. Harris, Ms. Moy and Mr. Ratliff who did not retire in 2015 will retire in 2017 and be replaced by two trustees who will serve a ten year term.

In addition to serving as Trustees and officers of the Funds and Master Funds, each Trustee and officer also serves in the same capacity for the Domini Social Equity Portfolio, the Domini European Social Equity Portfolio and the Domini Institutional Social Equity Fund (which funds, collectively with the Funds and the Master Funds, are referred to herein as the “Domini Funds” or the “Domini Family of Funds”).

No Trustee or officer is a director of a public company or a registered investment company other than, with respect to the Trustees, the Domini Funds. Each of the nominees has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serving on the Board of Trustees if elected.

The following table presents information about each Trustee and each officer of the Funds and the Master Funds as of May 1, 2006. Asterisks indicate those trustees and officers who are “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds and the Master Funds. Each Trustee and officer noted as an interested person is interested by virtue of his or her position with Domini Social Investments LLC, as described below. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each Trustee and officer is 536 Broadway, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10012.

Board Meetings

Committees

The Board of Trustees has a standing Audit Committee composed of all of the Independent Trustees. The Audit Committee met twice during the last fiscal year to review internal and external accounting procedures and, among other things, to consider the selection of the independent registered public accountant for the Funds and the Master Funds, to approve all significant services proposed to be performed by the accountants, and to consider the possible effect of

- 22 -

such services on their independence. All of the members of the Audit Committee attended each meeting.

The Board of Trustees also has a standing Nominating Committee. All of the Independent Trustees are members of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things, recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the Board of Trustees. The Nominating Committee did not meet during the last fiscal year. The Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders. If you would like to recommend a nominee to the Nominating Committee, please deliver your recommendation in writing to the Secretary of the Domini Funds, 536 Broadway, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10012.A copy of the Nominating Committee Charter is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit A.

Indemnification

The Declaration of Trust for each of the Funds provides that it will indemnify its Trustees and officers (the “Indemnified Parties”) against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with such Fund, unless, as to liability to such Fund or its shareholders, it is finally adjudicated that the Indemnified Parties engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their offices, or unless with respect to any other matter it is finally adjudicated that the Indemnified Parties did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that their actions were in the best interests of the Fund. In case of settlement, such indemnification will not be provided unless it has been determined by a court or other body approving the settlement or other disposition, or by a reasonable determination, based upon a review of readily available facts, by vote of a majority of disinterested Trustees or in a written opinion of independent counsel, that such Indemnified Parties have not engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of their duties.

Each Master Fund’s Declaration of Trust provides that it will indemnify the Trustees and officers in the same manner as described above for the Funds against liabilities and expenses incurred in

- 23 -

connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with such Master Fund.

Nomination by the Board of Trustees

At a meeting of the Board held on May 24, 2006, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, agreed that each Trustee of the Funds and Master Funds should be submitted to shareholders for approval and voted to nominate such Nominees and recommend election of the Nominees by the shareholders of the Funds.

Vote Required

Election of the nominees as Trustees of the Funds will require the vote of a plurality of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds, taken together, present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

Election of the nominees as Trustees of the Master Funds will require the vote of a plurality of the outstanding voting securities of the Master Funds, taken together, present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of the investors in the Master Funds.

The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that you vote FOR election of the nominees as Trustees of the Funds and the Master Funds.

Proposal 2.

To approve a new Management Agreement between the Domini Social Equity Trust and Domini Social Investments LLC.

Background

Shareholders of the Domini Social Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund”) are being asked to approve a new Management Agreement (the “New Management Agreement”) for the Domini Social Equity Trust (the “Master Equity Fund”).

The Equity Fund is a “feeder” fund within a structure known as a “master/feeder” mutual fund structure. Rather than invest directly in securities, the Equity Fund invests in a separate trust, or “master” trust, called the Domini Social Equity Trust (“the Master Equity Fund”) which acquires and manages a portfolio of securities and has the same investment objective as the Equity Fund. As an investor in the Master Equity Fund, the Equity Fund has been asked to approve the New Management Agreement. The Equity Fund is asking you to instruct it as to how to vote on this matter.

The Master Equity Fund currently seeks to provide its investors, including the Equity Fund, with a long-term total return that matches the performance of the Domini 400 Social IndexSM (the “Index”)1 an index made up of the stocks of 400 companies selected using social and environmental standards. The Master Equity Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing in the securities of the companies included in the Index in approximately the same proportion as they are found in the Index.

1/ Domini 400 Social Index is a service mark of KLD Research & Analytics, Inc (“KLD”) and is used under license. KLD is the owner of the Domini 400 Social Index but is not the manager of the Equity Fund or the Master Equity Fund.

- 26 -

Because the Master Equity Fund currently uses a passive investment strategy, management cannot shift its portfolio concentration from one industry to another or from one stock to another, to enhance performance.

Domini, the manager of the Master Equity Fund, believes that shareholders would be better served by an active investment strategy.An active investment strategy would provide management with the flexibility to adjust the portfolio as market conditions change. The Fund will continue to seek to provide shareholders with long-term total return (see below for additional discussion of the proposed investment strategy).

At a meeting held on April 28, 2006, Domini recommended, and the Board approved, a change in the investment strategy of the Master Equity Fund from a passive to an active investment strategy. Related to the change to an active investment strategy, the Board also approved a change to the investment objective of each of the Equity Fund and the Master Equity Fund. Although the investment objective of long term total return will not change, each of the Equity Fund and the Master Equity Fund will no longer have the objective of long term total return that matches the Index.

Domini’s review of the long-term track record of the Master Equity Fund demonstrates that social and environmental analysis has led to strong individual stock selection.

Domini believes that social and environmental standards help to identify companies that are led by forward-looking management teams, with positive corporate cultures, and that these companies make better long-term investments.

Domini believes an active investment strategy will improve the Fund’s ability to capitalize on this stock selection advantage.

In connection with the new investment objective and the change to an active investment strategy, Domini recommended,and the Board approved, the termination of SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (‘SSgA”), the current submanager of the Master Equity Fund, and the appointment of Wellington Management as the submanager of the

- 27 -

Master Equity Fund, as fully discussed in Proposal 3 below. The Board’s approval of the new investment objective and strategy and the termination of the SSgA submanagement agreement is subject to shareholder approval of the New Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management (as discussed in Proposal 3).

Actively managed funds tend to be more expensive to manage than passively managed funds. Domini has determined that, based on the fee schedule proposed by Wellington Management and the other expenses Domini expects to incur in changing to an active investment strategy, it is necessary for Domini to propose an increase in its management fee. Domini believes that the new strategy it is proposing will result in enhanced financial returns to shareholders and that the proposed expenses are fair and reasonable.Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Management Agreement due to this proposed increase in fees (See below for a more complete discussion of the proposed increase in fees).

Domini, a Massachusetts limited liability company, 536 Broadway, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10012, currently manages the assets of the Master Equity Fund pursuant to a Management Agreement dated as of October 22, 1997 (the “Existing Management Agreement”). The Existing Management Agreement was last approved by the Board of Trustees on April 28, 2006 when the Trustees approved its continuation for an additional twelve month period. The Existing Management Agreement was most recently submitted to a vote of investors in the Master Equity Fund, including the Equity Fund, on October 21, 1997 in connection with its initial approval.

Change in Investment Strategy to Active Management

Domini believes that an active investment strategy will allow the Master Equity Fund to more effectively capitalize on the use of social and environmental standards to select investments. Domini’s review of the long-term track record of the Master Equity Fund demonstrates that social and environmental analysis has led to strong individual stock selection. Domini believes that social and environmental standards help to identify companies that are led by forward-looking management teams, with positive corporate cultures, and that these companies make better long-term investments. A

- 28 -

passive investment strategy, however, limits the Fund’s ability to capitalize on this stock selection advantage, because it requires that the Fund invest in all of the stocks in the Index, in exactly the same proportion as the Index.

Domini and Wellington Management have developed a strategy that is designed to combine the strength of Domini’s social and environmental standards with Wellington Management’s quantitative analysis.

Subject to Domini’s social and environmental standards, Wellington Management will seek to add value using a diversified quantitative stock selection approach, while managing risk through portfolio construction. Wellington Management will seek to invest in stocks it believes are undervalued by the market and whose technical and fundamental momentum attributes are attractive. This strategy is more fully described in Proposal 3 below. Domini believes that this new approach will generate positive financial returns to shareholders, while remaining consistent with the Equity Fund’s unwavering commitment to socially responsible investing.

Increase in Fees Paid to Domini

Actively managed funds tend to be more expensive to manage than passively managed funds. Because of the increase in submanagement fees proposed by Wellington Management and the additional expenses that Domini expects to incur in connection with the social and environmental analysis it will perform for the Fund, Domini has determined it is necessary to increase the management fees it charges to the Master Equity Fund.

If the investors in the Master Equity Fund approve the New Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management is approved, Domini will be entitled to receive fees of 0.30% of the first $2 billion of net assets managed, 0.29% of the next $1 billion of net assets managed and 0.28% of net assets managed in excess of $3 billion for providing investment advisory services to the Master Equity Fund. Under the Existing Management Agreement, Domini is entitled to receive fees of 0.20% of the first $2 billion of net assets managed, 0.19% of the next $500 million of net assets managed and 0.18% of net assets managed in excess of $2.5 billion for providing

- 29 -

investment advisory services to the Master Equity Fund. Because the Equity Fund is one of four investors in the Master Equity Fund, its shareholders will bear a portion of the increase in the management fees.

Pursuant to a Sponsorship Agreement with respect to the Equity Fund, Domini provides the Equity Fund with oversight, administrative, and management services. Domini’s fee for administrative and sponsorship services with respect to the Equity Fund is currently 0.50% of the average daily net assets of each class of the Fund. Domini is currently waiving sponsorship fees such that the Equity Fund is currently paying 0.42% of the average daily net assets of each class of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, the Equity Fund incurred $4,950,221 in sponsorship fees (after fee waivers and expense reimbursements). Domini will continue to provide these services to the Equity Fund if the New Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management are approved. If the New Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management are approved, the Equity Fund will, as of November 30, 2006, pay sponsorship fees to Domini in the amount of 0.45% of the first $2 billion of net assets of each class of the Fund, 0.44% of the next $1 billion of net assets of each class of the Fund, and 0.43% of net assets of each class of the Fund in excess of $3 billion.

Contractual Expense Cap for the

Domini Social Equity Fund

The proposed increase in the management fees paid by the Master Equity Fund will be borne by investors in the Master Equity Fund, including the Equity Fund and its shareholders. However, if the New Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management are approved, Domini will contractually agree to:

(1)         lower the sponsorship fees payable by each class of shares of the Equity Fund from 0.50% of net assets to 0.45% of the first $2 billion of net assets, 0.44% of the next $1 billion of net assets, and 0.43% of net assets in excess of $3 billion; and

(2)         cap the total expenses payable by each class of shares of the Equity Fund to the total expense ratios listed below for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2007, subject to annual renewal.

*** If you wish to receive your redemption proceeds by bank wire, there is a $10 wire service fee. For additional information, please refer to the Funds’ shareholder manual.

+Until November 30, 2006, Domini has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain expenses, including management fees, so that the Equity Fund’s expenses, net of waivers and reimbursements, will not exceed, on a per annum basis, 0.95% of the average daily net assets representing Investor shares and 0.63% of the average daily net assets representing Class R shares, absent an earlier modification by the Board of Trustees.

‡ If the proposed new Management Agreement is approved and becomes effective, Domini has contractually agreed to to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain expenses at least until November 30, 2007, including management fees, so that the Equity Fund’s expenses, net of waivers and reimbursements, will not exceed, on a per annum basis, 1.15% of the average daily net assets representing Investor shares and 0.85% of the average daily net assets representing Class R shares, absent an earlier modification by the Board of Trustees.

The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in each class of shares of the Equity Fund with the costs of investing in those classes after giving effect to the proposed increase in fees. It illustrates the hypothetical expenses that you would incur if you invest $10,000 in the Equity Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of each period. This example assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year, all dividends and distributions are reinvested, operating expenses remain the same for the time period indicated, and the fee waiver reflected in the fee table is in effect for the one-year time period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be as follows:

This example should not be considered to represent actual expenses or performance for the past or the future. Actual future expenses may be higher or lower than those shown.

If the New Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management are approved, the expenses you will incur as a shareholder of the Equity Fund will increase. However, Domini believes that the new strategy it is proposing will result in enhanced financial returns to shareholders and that the proposed expenses are fair and reasonable.

Terms of the New Management Agreement

Other than the proposed increase in management fees, the New Management Agreement is the same as the Existing Management Agreement. A description of the terms of the Existing Management Agreement and the New Management Agreement (collectively, the “Management Agreements”) follows.

Please refer toExhibit Battached to this proxy statement for the complete New Management Agreement. The description of the New Management Agreement in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the New Management Agreement attached asExhibitB.

The New Management Agreement provides that Domini shall manage the assets of the Master Equity Fund and provide certain administrative services to the Master Equity Fund. Domini will have authority to determine from time to time what securities are purchased, sold or exchanged, and what portion of assets of the Master Equity Fund is held uninvested. Domini will also perform such administrative and management tasks for the Master Equity Fund as may from time to time be reasonably requested, including:

(a) maintaining office facilities and furnishing clerical services necessary for maintaining the organization of the

- 35 -

Master Equity Fund and for performing administrative and management functions;

(b) supervising the overall administration of the Master Equity Fund, including negotiation of contracts and fees with, and monitoring of performance and billings of, the transfer agent, shareholder servicing agents, custodian, and other independent contractors or agents of the Master Equity Fund;

(c) overseeing (with the advice of the counsel to the Master Equity Fund) the preparation of and, if applicable, the filing of all documents required for compliance by the Master Equity Fund with applicable laws and regulations, including registration statements, prospectuses and statements of additional information, semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, proxy statements, and tax returns;

Domini provides persons satisfactory to the Board of Trustees of the Master Equity Fund to serve as officers of the Master Equity Fund. Such officers, as well as certain other employees and Trustees of the Master Equity Fund, may be directors, officers, or employees of Domini or its affiliates. Domini furnishes at its own expense all facilities and personnel necessary in connection with providing these services.

- 36 -

The New Management Agreement provides that Domini may render services to others. Domini may employ, at its own expense, or may request that the Master Equity Fund, employ (subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act) one or more subadvisers or submanagers, subject to Domini’s supervision. The Management Agreement is terminable without penalty on not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ written notice by the Master Equity Fund, when authorized either by majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of the Master Equity Fund (with the vote of each investor in the Master Equity Fund being in proportion to the amount of its investment), or by a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Master Equity Fund, or by Domini, and will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. The New Management Agreement provides that neither Domini nor its personnel shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in its services to the Master Equity Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence or reckless disregard of its or their obligations and duties under the New Management Agreement.

If the New Management Agreement is approved by the vote of the holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined under the heading “Vote Required” below) of the Master Equity Fund and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management is approved as provided in Proposal 3, the New Management Agreement will become effective on November 30, 2006 and continue in effect until November 30, 2008, and thereafter will continue in effect if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Master Equity Fund at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the New Management Agreement (with the vote of each investor in the Master Equity Fund being in proportion to the amount of its investment), and, in either case, by a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the New Management Agreement or interested persons of any such party at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the New Management Agreement.

Currently, Domini is reducing its fee to the extent necessary to keep the aggregate operating expenses of the European Equity Fund (including the European Equity Fund’s share of the Master European Fund’s expenses but excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses), net of waivers and reimbursements, at no greater than 1.60% of the average daily net assets of the shares of the European Equity Fund.

Other Services Provided to the Domini Social Equity Fund

and the Domini Social Equity Trust

Pursuant to a Sponsorship Agreement with respect to the Equity Fund, Domini provides the Equity Fund with oversight, administrative, and management services. Domini’s fee for administrative and sponsorship services with respect to the Equity Fund is currently 0.50% of the average daily net assets of each class of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, the Equity Fund accrued $6,696,885 in Sponsorship fees. Domini waived fees totaling $1,764,664. Domini will continue to provide these services to the Equity Fund if the New Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management are approved. If the New Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management are approved, the Equity Fund will, as of November 30, 2006, pay

- 40 -

sponsorship fees to Domini in the amount of 0.45% of the first $2 billion of net assets of each class of the Fund, 0.44% of the next $1 billion of net assets of each class of the Fund, and 0.43% of net assets of each class of the Fund in excess of $3 billion.

DSIL Investment Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Domini, is the distributor of the Equity Fund’s shares. The Equity Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 plan with respect to its Investor shares that allows the Fund to pay its distributor on an annual basis for the sale and distribution of the Investor shares and for services provided to shareholders. These annual distribution and service fees may equal up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Equity Fund’s Investor shares. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, Investor shares of the Equity Fund accrued $3,228,455 in distribution fees. The distributor waived fees totaling $625,621. The Equity Fund does not pay any distribution and service fees with respect to the Class R shares. DSIL Investment Services LLC also serves as the placement agent for the Master Equity Fund. The Master Equity Fund does not pay any fees to DSIL Investment Services LLC for acting as placement agent. DSIL Investment Services LLC will continue to provide these services to the Equity Fund and the Master Equity Fund if the New Management Agreement and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management are approved.

Portfolio Transactions and Tax Implications

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, brokerage transactions were not placed with any person affiliated with the Master Equity Fund, the Equity Fund, Domini, Wellington Management, SSgA, DSIL Investment Services LLC, PFPC Inc. (the Funds’ transfer agent) or Investors Bank & Trust Company (the Funds’ custodian).

The transition from a passive to an active strategy will require the sale of many stocks currently held by the Master Equity Fund. These sales could result in capital gain distributions to Fund shareholders. Management will attempt to efficiently manage any tax implications in connection with the transition of the Master Equity Fund’s portfolio of securities. It is expected that the portfolio transition period, under normal market conditions, would be approximately 60 days. Because the new strategy is

- 41 -

proposed to go into effect on or about November 30, 2006, any resulting tax impact on shareholders would occur over two calendar years (rather than one) if the portfolio is transitioned over 60 days, as expected.

Factors Considered by the Board of Trustees

At a meeting held on April 28, 2006, the Board of Trustees considered the approval of the New Management Agreement. In advance of the meeting, the Independent Trustees submitted to Domini a written request for information in connection with their consideration of the New Management Agreement. The Trustees received, reviewed and considered, among other things:

(i)        a report based on information provided by Strategic Insight that compared both the current and proposed fees and expenses of each of the Master Equity Fund and the Equity Fund (before and after giving effect to current and proposed fee waivers) to those of various peer groups including, without limitation, peer groups of socially responsible funds, actively managed U.S. equity funds, and U.S. equity index funds;

(ii)       a report from Domini regarding the proposed investment strategies and techniques for the Master Equity Fund, including Domini’s rationale for changing the investment objective and strategies of the Master Equity Fund and the Equity Fund, and a discussion of the risks of the proposed strategy;

(iii)      a report from Domini that compared the performance of the Domini 400 Social Index to the performance of the S&P 500 Index (the benchmark of the Master Equity Fund) over various periods and that included an attribution analysis that showed the impact of the Domini 400 Social Index being underweighted in certain industries and sectors relative to the S&P 500; and

(iv)      reports from and presentations by Domini that described (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by Domini to each of the Master Equity Fund and the Equity Fund in connection with the implementation of the new investment strategy, (b) the fees and other amounts

- 42 -

proposed to be paid to Domini under the New Management Agreement, including information as to the fees charged and services provided to other clients, (c) certain information about Domini’s compliance program and procedures and any regulatory issues, (d) brokerage practices, including soft dollar practices, and (e) Domini’s proxy voting policies and procedures.

The Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that Domini had the capabilities, resources, and personnel necessary to manage the Master Equity Fund and implement the new investment strategy and that Domini had the capabilities, resources, and personnel necessary to continue to manage and provide administrative services to the Equity Fund. The Board further concluded that, based on the services to be provided by Domini to the Master Equity Fund pursuant to the New Management Agreement, the fees paid by similar funds and taking into account the agreed-upon fee waivers and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, the compensation proposed to be paid to Domini under the New Management Agreement is fair and reasonable.

In reaching their determination to approve the New Management Agreement, the Trustees considered a variety of factors they believed relevant and balanced a number of considerations. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling. The primary factors and the conclusions are described below.

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Provided

The Trustees considered that the New Managment Agreement was the same as the Existing Management Agreement except for the increase in fees payable to Domini. The Trustees considered that, pursuant to the New Management Agreement, Domini, subject to the direction of the Board, will continue to be responsible for providing advice and guidance with respect to the Master Equity Fund and for managing the investment of the assets of the Master Equity Fund, which it will do by engaging with, and overseeing the activities of, Wellington Management. It was noted

- 43 -

that Domini will apply its social and environmental standards to a universe of securities provided by Wellington Management and that Wellington Management will provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Master Equity Fund, including making purchases and sales of securities consistent with its investment objective and policies, including Domini’s social and environmental standards.

The Trustees considered the scope of the services to be provided by Domini under the New Management Agreement and the quality of services provided by Domini to the other Domini Funds. They considered the professional experience, tenure, and qualifications of the portfolio management teams proposed for the Master Equity Fund and the other senior personnel at Domini. They also considered Domini’s capabilities and experience in the development and application of social and environmental investment standards and its reputation and leadership in the socially responsible investment community. They noted that the senior members of Domini's research team had years of experience in the development and application of social and environmental investment standards. In addition, they considered Domini’s compliance policies and procedures and compliance record.

The Trustees noted that Domini will also continue to administer the Master Equity Fund ‘s business and other affairs pursuant to the New Management Agreement. It was noted that, among other things, Domini will continue to provide the Master Equity Fund with office space, administrative services and personnel as are necessary for operations. The Trustees considered the quality of the administrative services Domini had provided to the Master Equity Fund in the past, as well as the quality of adminsitrative services Domini provided to the other Domini Funds, including Domini’s role in coordinating the activities of service providers. They noted that they were satisfied with the quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by Domini to the Master Equity Fund and the other Domini Funds, particularly Domini's oversight of submanagers and development and application of social and environmental investment standards.

Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services to be

- 44 -

provided by Domini to the Master Equity Fund under the New Management Agreement.

Performance Information

The Trustees considered the performance of the Equity Fund compared to its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and noted that the annualized total return of the Equity Fund had lagged annualized total return of the S&P 500 Index for the 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods ending March 31, 2006 and since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees considered information provided to them that showed that stock selection had generally helped the performance of the Fund compared to the S&P 500 Index over most time periods but that the underweight versus the S&P 500 Index of certain industries and sectors had hurt the Fund’s performance compared to the benchmark. The Trustees noted that, as an index fund that invests in the securities of the companies in the Domini 400 Social Index, the Master Equity Fund does not buy and sell securities based on market conditions or an evaluation by management of particular securities. They considered how the passive investment strategy used by the Master Equity Fund had impacted the performance of the Master Equity Fund.

Fees and Other Expenses

The Trustees considered the increased management fees to be paid by the Master Equity Fund to Domini under the New Management Agreement.

The Trustees noted that Domini (and not the Master Equity Fund) will pay Wellington Management from its advisory fee for the Master Equity Fund. The Trustees also considered information that showed the net increase in fees that Domini would receive (after taking into account that Domini would pay the submanagement fees and that Domini had proposed to reimburse or waive fees for the Equity Fund and the other feeder funds) and the expenses that Domini expected to incur in connection with providing the social and environmental screening for the Master Equity Fund. The Trustees compared the level of the Master Equity Fund’s advisory and administrative fees to the comparative fees of the peer groups described above, as well as the expected

- 45 -

total expense ratio of the Equity Fund compared to those peers. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed the management fees that Domini charges its other fund clients with investment objectives similar to the investment objective of the Master Equity Fund and noted that the fees charged to such other clients were higher than the fees proposed to be charged to the Master Equity Fund and the portion of the proposed management fee and sponsorship fee to be paid by the Equity Fund.

The Trustees also reviewed the fees under the Existing Management Agreement and considered that the current total expense ratio for the Equity Fund exceeded the peer group average total expense ratio for U.S. equity index funds even after giving effect to the waiver by Domini of certain fees and expenses. The Trustees considered the reasons that the total expense ratio of the Fund exceeded that of the U.S. equity index funds peer group and noted that, given the license, submanagement and other fees paid or reimbursed by Domini, a reduction of fees was not likely to be a feasible alternative.

The Trustees then considered that, based on the information provided by Strategic Insight, the proposed new management fee for the Master Equity Fund was lower than the average management fees of various peer groups. Because the average management fees for the peer groups included fees for administrative services, the Trustees also compared the proposed management and sponsorship fees payable by the Equity Fund to the average management fees of the various peer groups. The Board considered that the sum of the Equity Fund's portion of the proposed management fee and its sponsorship fee was about equal to or less than those average management fees. The Trustees also considered that the expected total expense ratio of the Equity Fund, for both the Investor shares and the R shares, after giving effect to the New Management Agreement, would be lower than the average of the total expense ratios of its most relevant peer group.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability

The Trustees reviewed information provided to them by Domini concerning the costs borne by and profitability of Domini with respect to its advisory and administrative relationship with

- 46 -

the Equity Fund for the 2005 calendar year, along with a description of the methodology used by Domini in preparing the profitability information. They also reviewed information provided to them by Domini that showed the net dollar increase in fees that Domini expected to receive under the New Management Agreement and reviewed the increased expenses that Domini expected to incur in providing services under the New Management Agreement.

Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that Domini's expected level of profitability with respect to the New Management Agreement was reasonable in view of the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided.

Other Benefits

The Trustees considered the other benefits that Domini and its affiliates received and could be expected to receive from their relationship with the Master Equity Fund.

The Trustees reviewed the character and amount of payments that will continue to be received by Domini and its affiliates, other than with respect to the management arrangements, in connection with its relationship to the Master Equity Fund. They considered that DSIL Investment Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Domini, will continue to receive 12b-1 fees from the Equity Fund and will retain those fees in certain circumstances. In addition, the Trustees considered the intangible benefits that would continue to accrue to Domini and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Master Equity Fund and the Equity Fund and how implementation of the new strategy would likely increase those benefits.

The Trustees concluded that the benefits expected to be received by Domini and its affiliates, as outlined above, were reasonable in the context of the relationship between Domini and the Master Equity Fund and the Equity Fund and supported the approval of the Management Agreement.

Economies of Scale

- 47 -

The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by Domini as the Master Equity Fund and the Equity Fund got larger and the extent to which economies of scale were reflected in the proposed new fee schedules. The Trustees noted that breakpoints were being proposed for both the New Management Agreement and the sponsorship agreements for the Equity Fund, and also considered the fee waivers proposed by Domini. They concluded that, given these breakpoints, the shareholders would share in the economies of scale as each of the Master Equity Fund and the Equity Fund got larger and that this was a positive factor in support of approval of the Management Agreement.

Conclusion

Based upon its review, the Board of Trustees concluded the following:

The terms of the New Management Agreement are reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of the Master Equity Fund and its investors, including the Equity Fund

and

The fees provided in the New Management Agreement are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality.

Accordingly, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved the New Management Agreement and voted to recommend that shareholders vote in favor of the New Management Agreement. If the New Management Agreement is approved by the investors in the Master Equity Fund and the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management is approved as provided in Proposal 3, the New Management Agreement will go into effect on November 30, 2006.

- 48 -

Vote Required

Approval of the New Management Agreement will require the approval of “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Master Equity Fund, which means the affirmative vote by the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Master Equity Fund present at the meeting, if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Master Equity Fund are represented at that meeting in person or by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Master Equity Fund.

The New Management Agreement will not go into effect unless the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management described in Proposal 3 is also approved by the investors in the Master Equity Fund. In the event that the New Management Agreement or the Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management do not receive the requisite approvals, Domini will continue to serve as the Master Equity Fund’s manager under the Existing Management Agreement, and Domini will either continue its relationship with SSgA, negotiate a new submanagement agreement with Seix Advisorsa different investment advisory organization, or make other appropriate arrangements, in either event subject to approval in accordance with the 1940 Act.

The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the New Management Agreement.

Proposal 3.

To approve a Submanagement Agreement for the Domini Social Equity Trust between Wellington Management Company, LLP and Domini Social Investments LLC.

As discussed in Proposal 2, Domini recommended, and the Board of Trustees approved, a change in the investment strategy of the Master Equity Fund from a passive to an active investment strategy and corresponding changes in each of the Equity Fund’s and the Master Equity Fund’s investment objective.

In connection with these changes, the Board of Trustees has authorized Domini to enter into a new Submanagement Agreement (the “New Submanagement Agreement”) with Wellington Management, subject to shareholder approval. In accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the New Submanagement

Domini will maintain exclusive control over the application of its social and environmental standards to the Fund’s portfolio.

As of April 30, 2006, Wellington Management managed approximately $550 billion in assets. Wellington Management is the submanager of the Domini European Social Equity Fund.

The Board of Trustees carefully reviewed Wellington Management’s capabilities and track record and unanimously approved its selection. Domini and the Board believe that Wellington Management will be able to provide the Fund with strong, long-term service.

Agreement must be approved by the investors in the Master Equity Fund, including the Equity Fund. As a shareholder of the Equity Fund, the Equity Fund is asking you how to vote on this matter. If this proposal and the New Management Agreement are approved, the New Submanagement Agreement with Wellington Management will go into effect on November 30, 2006.

Change in Investment Strategy to Active Management

Domini and Wellington Management have developed a strategy that is designed to combine the strength of Domini’s social and environmental standards with Wellington Management’s quantitative analysis. Domini believes that this new approach will generate positive financial returns to shareholders, while remaining consistent with the Master Equity Fund’s unwavering commitment to socially responsible investing.

As submanager for the Master Equity Fund, Wellington Management will employ an active management strategy seeking to provide shareholders with long-term total return by invesing primarily in stocks of U.S. companies that Domini has determined meet the Fund’s social and environmental standards.

Subject to Domini’s social and enviromental standards, Wellington Management will seek to add value using a diversified quantitative stock selection approach, while managing risk through portfolio construction. Using a proprietary quantitative model, Wellington Management will rank securities according to value and momentum characteristics and will seek to invest in those stocks that it believes are undervalued by the market and whose fundamental and technical momentum attributes are attractive. Wellington Management will also use optimization techniques designed to reduce industry and sector biases.

Domini will maintain exclusive control over the application of its social and environmental standards to the Master Equity Fund’s portfolio.

The Board of Trustees carefully reviewed Wellington Management’s capabilities and track record and unanimously approved its selection. Domini and the Board believe that Wellington Management will be able to provide the Master Equity Fund with strong, long-term service.

In connection with the change to an active investment strategy, the Board of Trustees has voted to terminate the Submanagement Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2001 (the “Existing

- 51 -

Submanagement Agreement”), between Domini and SSgA Funds Management, Inc., (“SSgA”), subject to shareholder approval of the New Submanagement Agreement and the New Management Agreement. SSgA has served as the submanager of the Master Equity Fund since May 1, 2001. State Street Global Advisers, an affiliate of SSgA, served as the submanager of the Master Equity Fund from January 1, 2001 through April 30, 2001. SSgA is a subsidiary of State Street Corporation (“State Street”), a publicly held bank holding company, whose primary operating subsidiary is State Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts bank. SSgA is located at Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. State Street’s principal address is 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The Existing Submanagement Agreement was last approved by the Board on April 28, 2006. The Existing Submanagement Agreement was approved by the investors in the Master Equity Fund on May 14, 2001 in connection with the replacement of State Street Global Advisers by SSgA due to a corporate restructuring.

Wellington Management acts as the investment subadviser for certain other mutual funds that have a similar investment objective to the Master Equity Fund as listed onExhibit C attached hereto. Information concerning the net assets of those mutual funds and the fees paid to Wellington Management for its services to those mutual funds is also provided onExhibitC. All information contained in this Proxy Statement about Wellington Management has been provided by Wellington Management.

Comparison of the New Submanagement Agreement and the Existing Submanagement Agreement

The terms and conditions of the New Submanagement Agreement, and their differences from the terms of the Existing Submanagement Agreement, are discussed below. Please refer toExhibit D attached to this proxy statement for the complete New Submanagement Agreement. The description of the New Submanagement Agreement in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the New Submanagement Agreement attached asExhibitD.

Under the New Submanagement Agreement, as under the Existing Submanagement Agreement, the submanager will furnish continuously an investment program and shall determine from time to time what securities shall be purchased, sold or exchanged and what portion of the assets of the Master Equity Fund shall be held uninvested, subject always to the provisions of the 1940 Act and to the investment objectives, policies, procedures, and restrictions imposed by the Master Equity Fund’s then current Registration Statement under the 1940 Act and the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Domini Social Trust. Wellington Management shall furnish at its own expense all necessary services, facilities and personnel in connection with its responsibilities.

- 54 -

Like the Existing Submanagement Agreement, the New Submanagement Agreement provides that the submanager will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, for any loss arising out of any investment, or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for the Master Equity Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations under the New Submanagement Agreement.

If the New Management Agreement is approved as described under Proposal 2 and the New Submanagement Agreement is approved by the vote of the holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined under the heading “Vote Required” below) of the Master Equity Fund, the New Submanagement Agreement will become effective on November 30, 2006 and continue in effect until November 30, 2008, and thereafter will continue in effect if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Master Equity Fund at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the New Submanagement Agreement (with the vote of each investor in the Master Equity Fund being in proportion to the amount of its investment), and, in either case, by a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the New Submanagement Agreement or interested persons of any such party at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the New Submanagement Agreement.

The New Submanagement Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees, by the vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Master Equity Fund, including the Equity Fund, or by Domini, in each case on not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ written notice to the other party. The New Submanagement Agreement may also be terminated by Wellington Management on 90 days’ advance written notice to Domini and the Trustees. The New Submanagement Agreement will also terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act).

The New Submanagement Agreement contains certain additional provisions not contained in the Existing Submanagement Agreement. The New Submanagement Agreement clarifies certain responsibilities of Domini and Wellington Management, including: (i)

- 55 -

Domini shall assume responsibility for voting proxies of securities held by the Master Equity Fund; (ii) Domini shall screen the securities submitted to it by Wellington Management according to the social and environmental criteria developed for the Master Equity Fund, and notify Wellington Management of the results of each screening; and (iii) Wellington Management shall not purchase any securities for the Master Equity Fund that do not meet the social and environmental criteria applied by the Manager. The New Submanagement Agreement also clarifies that Wellington Management will not be responsible for filing class action proofs of claim on behalf of the Master Equity Fund.

The New Submanagement Agreement provides that Wellington Management may give advice or exercise investment responsibility with respect to other accounts which may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Master Equity Fund, provided that Wellington Management acts in good faith and provided that it is Wellington Management’s policy to allocate investment opportunities to the Master Equity Fund over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis relative to such other accounts. In addition, under the New Submanagement Agreement, Wellington Management is authorized to engage its affiliates to provide Wellington Management with investment management or advisory and related services with respect to performance by Wellington Management of its obligations under the New Submanagement Agreement. Wellington Management will remain liable for the acts and omissions of any such affiliates.

Submanagement Fees

Under the Existing Submanagement Agreement, Domini (not the Master Equity Fund) pays SSgA for its services a fee computed and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.02% of the first $1 billion of net assets managed, 0.01% of the next $1 billion of net assets managed, and 0.0075% of net assets managed in excess of $2 billion of the Master Equity Fund’s average daily net assets, but in no event shall the fees paid by Domini to SSgA be less than $300,000 per year.

If the investors of the Master Equity Fund approve the New Submanagement Agreement and the New Management Agreement is

- 56 -

also approved, Domini will pay to Wellington Management an annual submanagement fee based on the following schedule:

0.30% of the first $250 million of net assets managed

0.25% of the next $750 million of net assets managed

0.225% of net assets managed in excess of $1 billion

The following table demonstrates (1) the actual submanagement fees paid by Domini to SSgA for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005; (2) the amount Domini would have paid to Wellington Management if the proposed submanagement fees under the New Submanagement Agreement had been in effect for that year; and (3) the difference between these amounts stated as a percentage:

Domini, not the Funds, will pay submanagement feesto Wellington Management as the submanager of the Master Equity Fund. Because the fees payable under the New Submanagement Agreement are significantly higher than the fees that are payable under the Existing Submanagement Agreement, Domini has determined it is necessary to increase its management fee charged to the Master Equity Fund. Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Management Agreement in Proposal 2 above in order to approve this proposed increase in the management fee.

If the New Submanagement Agreement and the New Management Agreement are approved, Domini will contractually agree to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, including its management fee until at least November 30, 2007 (subject to annual renewal) so that the Equity Fund’s expenses, net of waivers and reimbursements, will not exceed, on a per annum basis, 1.15% of the average daily net assets representing Investor shares, and 0.85% of the average daily net assets representing R shares, absent an earlier modification by the Board of Trustees.

Factors Considered by the Board of Trustees

At a meeting held on April 28, 2006, the Board of Trustees considered the approval of the New Submanagement Agreement. In connection with their consideration of the New Submanagement Agreement, the Independent Trustees submitted to Wellington Management a written request for information in advance of the meeting. The Trustees received, reviewed and considered, among other things, reports from and presentations by Wellington Management that described, (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by Wellington Management to the Master Equity Fund, (b) the fees and other amounts proposed to be paid to Wellington Management under the New Submanagement Agreement, including information as to the fees charged and services provided to other Wellington Management subadvisory clients, (c) certain information regarding Wellington Management’s ownership structure, clients, and investment process, (d) certain information regarding Wellington Management’s performance in managing similar accounts, (e) certain information about Wellington Management’s compliance program and procedures and any regulatory issues, (f) brokerage practices, including soft dollar practices, and (g) Wellington Management’s code of ethics.

The Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that Wellington Management had the capabilities, resources, and personnel necessary to submanage the Master Equity Fund. The Board further concluded that, based on the services to be provided by Wellington Management to the Master Equity Fund pursuant to the New Submanagement Agreement, the fees paid by similar funds and taking into account the agreed-upon fee waivers and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, the compensation proposed to be paid to Wellington Management under the New Submanagement Agreement was fair and reasonable.

In reaching their determination to approve the New Submanagement Agreement, the Trustees considered a variety of factors they believed relevant and balanced a number of considerations. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or

- 58 -

controlling. The primary factors and the conclusions are described below.

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Provided

The Trustees noted that pursuant to the proposed New Management Agreement between the Master Equity Fund and Domini, Domini, subject to the direction of the Board, will continue to be responsible for providing advice and guidance with respect to the Master Equity Fund and for managing the investment of the assets of the Master Equity Fund, which it proposed to do by engaging with, and overseeing the activities of, Wellington Management. It was noted that Domini will apply its social standards to a universe of securities provided by Wellington Management and that Wellington Management will provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Master Equity Fund, including making purchases and sales of securities consistent with the Master Equity Fund’s investment objective and policies and Domini’s social and environmental standards.

The Trustees considered the scope of the services to be provided by Wellington Management under the New Submanagement Agreement and the quality of services provided by Wellington Management to its existing clients, including the Master European Fund. The Trustees also reviewed the results of interviews with several of Wellington Management’s current clients, all of which were positive.

The Trustees then considered the professional experience, tenure, and qualifications of the portfolio management team proposed for the Master Equity Fund and the other senior personnel at Wellington Management. The Trustees noted that the senior portfolio manager who would be responsible for the management of the Master Equity Fund had over 9 years of experience in the investment management field, and that there was an experienced team of investment management professionals supporting the senior portfolio manager with an average of 15 years of experience. They also reviewed Wellington Management’s compliance policies and procedures and compliance record.

- 59 -

The terms of the New Submanagement Agreement were also reviewed by the Trustees. The Trustees considered the differences between the Existing Submanagement Agreement and the New Submanagement Agreement and concluded that such changes were fair and reasonable.

Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by Wellington Management to the Master Equity Fund under the New Submanagement Agreement.

Performance Information

The Trustees reviewed information provided to them by Wellington Management regarding the performance of Wellington Management’s core U.S. intersection total composite, and model performance for the “core U.S. quantitative equity” strategy, the strategy that is proposed for the Master Equity Fund.

In particular, the Trustees reviewed the annualized total returns of the core U.S. intersection total composite for the 1, 3, 5 and 10 years ending December 31, 2005 and noted that those returns compared favorably to the returns of the S&P 500 Index, the benchmark for the Master Equity Fund, for the same periods.

The Trustees also considered that the model investment performance of Wellington Management’s core U.S. quantitative equity strategy, which Wellington Management proposed to adapt for the Master Equity Fund, was consistent and reasonable in relation to the historic performance of the Master Equity Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The Trustees did, however, note the differences between the proposed investment objectives and strategies of the Master Equity Fund and the core U.S. quantitative equity strategy. In particular, the Board noted that the model performance data provided by Wellington Management did not factor in the application of Domini’s social and environmental screening process. The Trustees discussed the application of these screens with both Domini and Wellington Management. The Board noted that the proposed strategy for the Master Equity Fund is similar to the strategy currently used by Domini and Wellington Management for the Domini European Social Equity Fund and reviewed the performance of that fund as compared

- 60 -

to its benchmark, considering in particular the positive impact of the social and environmental screens on performance. The Trustees considered the performance of both the composite and the model to be acceptable when compared to the benchmark of the Master Equity Fund.

Fees and Other Expenses

The Trustees then considered the submanagement fees to be paid by Domini to Wellington Management. The Trustees compared the investment submanagement fees proposed by Wellington Management with the fees charged by the current submanager of the Master Equity Fund. They noted that the fees proposed by Wellington Management were significantly higher than the fees currently being paid to the submanager of the Master Equity Fund and considered that the increase was reasonable given that Wellington Management would be using an active, rather than a passive, investment strategy. The Trustees also reviewed the submanagement fees that Wellington Management charges its other mutual fund clients, and noted that the submanagement fees Wellington Management receives with respect to its other mutual fund clients are within the general range of the submanagement fee it would receive with respect to the Master Equity Fund. The Trustees noted that Domini (and not the Master Equity Fund) will pay Wellington Management from its management fee and that they had reviewed the management fee and comparative fee information in connection with their consideration of the New Management Agreement.

The Trustees determined, based on the nature and quality of the services to be provided by Wellington Management, and in light of the preceding factors, that the fees proposed by Wellington Management were reasonable.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability

The Trustees also reviewed the consolidated balance sheet for Wellington Management and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005. The Trustees did not, however, receive information regarding the estimated costs to Wellington Management of the services proposed to be provided by it to the Master Equity Fund or

- 61 -

the estimated profits that may be realized by Wellington Management from its submanagement relationship with the Master Equity Fund. The Trustees considered that it would be difficult for Wellington Management to estimate such costs and profits given that Wellington Management had not yet provided submanagement services to the Master Equity Fund. The Trustees also noted that it would be appropriate to request and review such information when they considered the continuation of the New Submanagement Agreement.

Other Benefits

The Trustees considered the other benefits that Wellington Management and its affiliates could be expected to receive from their relationship with the Master Equity Fund. They noted in particular that none of Wellington Management or any of its affiliates would be providing any other services to the Master Equity Fund. The Trustees also considered the brokerage practices of Wellington Management. In addition, the Trustees considered the intangible benefits that may accrue to Wellington Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Master Equity Fund.

The Trustees concluded that the benefits expected to be received by Wellington Management and its affiliates were reasonable in the context of the relationship between Wellington Management and the Master Equity Fund and supported the approval of the New Submanagement Agreement.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by Wellington Management as the Master Equity Fund got larger and the extent to which economies of scale were reflected in the proposed fee schedule under the New Submanagement Agreement. The Trustees noted the breakpoints in fees that were proposed in the New Submanagement Agreement and concluded that the fee schedule as proposed would allow shareholders to share in economies of scale as the assets in the Master Equity Fund grew. The Trustees considered the inclusion of

- 62 -

the breakpoint schedule to be a positive factor supporting the approval of the New Submanagement Agreement.

Conclusion

Based upon its review, the Board of Trustees concluded the following:

The terms of the New Submanagement Agreement are reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of the Master Equity Fund and its investors, including the Equity Fund

and

The fees provided in the New Submanagement Agreement are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality.

Accordingly, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved the New Submanagement Agreement and voted to recommend that shareholders vote in favor of the New Submanagement Agreement at the meeting. If the New Submanagement Agreement is approved by the investors in the Master Equity Fund and the New Management Agreement is approved as provided in Proposal 2, the New Submanagement Agreement will go into effect on November 30, 2006.

Vote Required

Approval of the New Submanagement Agreement will require the approval of “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Master Equity Fund, which means the affirmative vote by the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Master Equity Fund present at the meeting, if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Master Equity Fund are represented at that meeting in person or by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Master Equity Fund.

The New Submanagement Agreement will not go into effect unless the New Management Agreement is also approved by the investors in the Master Equity Fund. In the event that the New Submanagement Agreement and the New Management Agreement do

- 63 -

not receive the requisite approvals, Domini will either continue its relationship with SSgA, negotiate a new submanagement agreement with a different investment advisory organization, or make other appropriate arrangements, in either event subject to approval in accordance with the 1940 Act.

The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the New Submanagement Agreement.

- 64 -

Proposal 4.

To authorize the Trustees to select and change submanagers and enter into submanagement agreements without obtaining the approval of the shareholders.

Proposal 4 is intended to facilitate the efficient supervision and management of the Funds and the Master Funds by Domini and the Trustees, and to give Domini and the Trustees flexibility in managing the Funds and the Master Funds in the future. Domini continuously monitors the performance of submanagers, and may, from time to time (but it is not anticipated frequently), recommend that the Board of Trustees replace one or more submanagers or appoint additional submanagers. This depends on Domini’s assessment of what combination of submanagers it believes will optimize the chances of each Fund and Master Fund of achieving its investment objective.

The 1940 Act requires that all contracts pursuant to which persons serve as investment advisers to mutual funds be approved by shareholders. This requirement applies also to the appointment of a new or replacement submanager. The SEC has previously granted exemptions from these shareholder vote requirements provided that certain conditions are satisfied. In addition, the SEC has proposed a new rule (the "Submanager Rule") under the 1940 Act that would permit the appointment of a new or replacement submanager without the approval of shareholders if certain conditions are satisfied. The Submanager Rule, if adopted as proposed, would eliminate the need for a fund to obtain an exemptive order permitting it to appoint or replace submanagers without shareholder approval.

If the Funds and the Master Funds were to obtain similar exemptive relief or the Submanager Rule under the 1940 Act is adopted as proposed and, in either case, this proposed Proposal 4 is approved, the Board of Trustees would be able, without further shareholder approval, to appoint or replace submanagers of each of the Funds and the Master Funds. The Trustees would not, however, be able to replace Domini as investment manager without complying with the 1940 Act and applicable regulations governing shareholder approval of advisory contracts. None of the Funds or the Master Funds have yet applied for this exemptive relief, and there is no

- 65 -

assurance that the Funds or the Master Funds would receive such relief. There is also no assurance that the Submanager Rule will be adopted.

Shareholder meetings entail substantial costs which could diminish the benefits of the current submanagement arrangements. These costs must be weighed against the benefits of shareholder scrutiny of proposed contracts with additional or replacement subadvisers. Even in the absence of shareholder approval, however, any proposal to add or replace submanagers would receive careful review.

First, Domini would assess the Fund’s or Master Fund’s needs and, if it believed additional or replacement submanagers could benefit the Fund or the Master Fund, as applicable, would search for available submanagers. Second, as in the process discussed in Proposal 3, any recommendations made by Domini would have to be approved by a majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees. In selecting any new or replacement submanagers, the Trustees are required to determine that: (i) an investment management agreement with the submanager is reasonable, fair and in the best interests of a Fund and its shareholders or the Master Fund and its investors, as applicable, and (ii) the fees provided in the agreement are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made by others for services of the same nature and quality. Finally, any further appointments of additional or replacement submanagers would have to comply with any conditions contained in the SEC exemptive order, if such order is granted, or the conditions of the Submanager Rule, if such rule is adopted as proposed.

The Trustees believe that the proposed authority to select and change submanagers and enter into submanagement agreements without obtaining the approval of shareholders is in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund and the investors in each Master Fund.

Vote Required

Approval of the proposed authority to select and change submanagers and enter into submanagement agreements without obtaining the approval of shareholders of a Fund will require the

- 66 -

approval of “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that Fund. This means the affirmative vote by the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present at the meeting, if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. This proposal is discussed

Audit-Related Fees. There were no fees billed for the Funds’ two most recently completed fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that were reasonably related to a Management Agreement dated asthe performance of May 1, 2000 (the "Management Agreement"). The Management Agreement wasthe audit or review of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under theAudit Feescaption above.

There were no audit-related fees billed by KPMG for the Funds’ two most recently completed fiscal years, that were required to be approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund on April 29, 2005. The Management Agreement was most recently submitted to a vote of shareholders in the Fund on May 31, 2000, in connection with its initial approval. Subject to the terms of the Management Agreement, Domini is responsibleregistrant’s Audit Committee for the management of the Fund. As part of its responsibilities as portfolio manager, Domini selects and employs, subject to the review and approval of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, one or more submanagers to invest the Fund's assets consistent with the Fund's investment objective and the guidelines and directions set by Domini and the Board of Trustees, and reviews the submanager's continued performance. Domini's selection of a submanager is subject to the review and approval of the Board of Trustees of the Fund and the Fund's shareholders. Domini may terminate the services of a submanager at any time. Prior to March 1, 2005, ShoreBank served as the submanager of the Fund pursuant to a Submanagement Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2000, between ShoreBank and Domini (the "ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement"). ShoreBank is an Illinois banking corporation, and its principal executive office is at 7054 S. Jeffery Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60649. As submanager, ShoreBank was responsible for the day-to-day -12- management of the Fund and for investing the Fund's assets in a manner consistent with the terms of the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement and the investment objectives of the Fund. The ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement was most recently approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund on April 30, 2004. The ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement was most recently submitted to a vote of shareholders in the Fund on May 31, 2000, in connection with its initial approval. At a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Fund held on January 28, 2005, the Board considered the termination of ShoreBank as the submanager of the Fund. The Board reviewed the services provided by ShoreBank as submanager and considered Domini's long and collegial relationship with ShoreBank. However, the Fund was ShoreBank's only mutual fund client and as assets grew, Domini and ShoreBank came to the mutual recognition that the Fund's shareholders would be best served by an investment adviser managing other mutual funds. The Board also considered Domini's recommendation that Seix Advisors, the fixed-income division of Trusco Capital Management, Inc. ("Seix Advisors"), be appointed as the submanager of the Fund. As discussed below under the heading "Evaluation by the Board of Trustees," Domini, at the direction of the Board, terminated the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement and entered into a submanagement agreement with Seix Advisors. Accordingly, effective at the close of business on February 28, 2005, the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement was terminated. The Submanagement Agreement with Seix Advisors (the "Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement") became effective on March 1, 2005. The Submanagement Agreements The terms of the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement (other than the investment advisory fees to be paid by Domini to Seix Advisors) are substantially similar to those of the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement. A description of the investment advisory fees to be paid by Domini to Seix Advisors is set forth below under the heading "Investment Advisory Fees." -13- Term of Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement The Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement became effective on March 1, 2005. If approved by the vote of the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined under the heading "Vote Required" below) of the Fund, the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement will continue in effect until March 1, 2007, and thereafter from year to year, subject to approval annually by the Board of Trustees of the Fund or the shareholders of the Fund in accordance with the 1940 Act. The Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, by the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund, or by Domini. The Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement may also be terminated by Seix Advisors on 90 days' advance written notice to Domini. The Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement will also terminate automatically in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act). Comparison of Submanagement Agreements Under the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement, as under the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement, the submanager will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, subject always to the provisions of the 1940 Act and to the investment objectives, policies, procedures, and restrictions imposed by the Fund's then current Registration Statement under the 1940 Act and the Fund's Declaration of Trust and By-Laws. Like the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement, the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement provides that Domini or the Trustees of the Fund may, at any time, suspend or restrict the right of the submanager to determine what securities will be purchased or soldrendered on behalf of the FundDomini and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Fund allocated by Domini to the submanager will be held uninvested. Seix Advisors will also provide Domini with such investment advice and reports and data as are requested by Domini. Like the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement, the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement provides that the submanager will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, for any loss arising out of any investment, or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for the Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless -14- disregard of its obligations under the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement. You should refer to Exhibit A attached to this Proxy Statement for the complete Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement. The description of the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement in this Proxy Statement is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement in Exhibit A. Investment Advisory Fees Under the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement, Domini (not the Fund) paid ShoreBank for its services a fee computed and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Seix Advisors' management fees are also paid by Domini, not the Fund. From March 1, 2005, to but not including July 29, 2005, or if earlier, the date on which the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement is approved by the shareholders of the Fund, Domini will pay to Seix Advisors a submanagement fee, accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Fund allocated to Seix Advisors. If the shareholders of the Fund approve the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement, Domini will pay to Seix Advisors an annual submanagement fee based on the following schedule (the "Approved Fee Schedule"): 0.40% on the first $10 million of net assets managed 0.35% on the next $10 million of net assets managed 0.30% on the next $30 million of net assets managed 0.25% on the next $30 million of net assets managed 0.20% on the next $120 million of net assets managed 0.15% on the next $300 million of net assets managed 0.10% on the next $500 million of net assets managed 0.05% over $1 billion of net assets managed In addition, if the shareholders of the Fund approve the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement, Domini will pay a one-time fee equal to $25,000 to Seix Advisors for services to be provided by Seix -15- Advisors to the Fund from and after the date of such approval. Seix Advisors will be required to return such amount to Domini if Seix Advisors resigns as the submanager of the Fund prior to December 31, 2005. Notwithstanding the above fees, the subadvisory fees payable by Domini will not exceed $180,000 for the period from March 1, 2005, through March 1, 2006. Approval of the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement will have no effect upon the amount of advisory fees paid by the Fund to Domini. Domini, not the Fund, will pay investment management fees to Seix Advisors as the submanager to the Fund. Until November 30, 2005, Domini has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, including its management fee, so that the Fund's expenses, net of waivers and reimbursements, will not exceed, on a per annum basis, 0.95% of the average daily net assets representing Investor shares, absent an earlier modification by the Board of Trustees, which oversees the Fund. The approval of the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement will have no effect on this contractual fee waiver or the total annual operating expenses of the Fund. Fees payable to ShoreBank for services provided under the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement for the Fund's 2004 fiscal year (August 1, 2003, to July 31, 2004) were $107,059. Neither ShoreBank, nor any affiliated person of ShoreBank, nor any affiliated person of any such affiliated person received any other fees from Domini or from the Fund for services provided to the Fund during the Fund's 2004 fiscal year. There were no other material payments by Domini or the Fund to ShoreBank, any affiliated person of ShoreBank, or any affiliated person of any such affiliated person, during the Fund's 2004 fiscal year. If the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement had been in effect during the Fund's 2004 fiscal year, the fees that would have been payable by Domini to Seix Advisors for services provided pursuant to the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement, based on the Approved Fee Schedule, would have been $173,824. The aggregate of these fees represents a 62.4% increase from the amount of fees that Domini paid to ShoreBank for that period under the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement. This increase in fees is borne by Domini, not by the Fund or its shareholders. -16- For the Fund's 2004 fiscal year, no commissions were paid to any broker (a) that is an affiliated person of the Fund, (b) that is an affiliated person of any affiliated person of the Fund, or (c) an affiliated person of which is an affiliated person of the Fund, Domini, ShoreBank, Seix Advisors, or the distributor of the Fund.

Information concerning the net assets of those mutual funds and the fees paid to Seix Advisors for its services to those investment-grade fixed-income mutual funds is also provided on Exhibit B. The Evaluation by the Board of Trustees The Board of Trustees of the Fund terminated the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement and approved the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement at a meeting held on January 28, 2005. Before terminating the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement, the Board of Trustees of the Fund reviewed with Domini its recommendation that ShoreBank be terminated as the submanager of the Fund. Domini reviewed ShoreBank's fees in comparison to the fee rates proposed by Seix Advisors. Domini also reviewed the services that ShoreBank provided to the Fund in comparison to the services proposed to be provided by Seix Advisors. The Board considered Domini's long and collegial relationship -19- with ShoreBank. However, the Fund was ShoreBank's only mutual fund client, and as assets grew, Domini and ShoreBank came to the mutual recognition that the Fund's shareholders would be best served by an investment adviser managing other mutual funds. The Board of Trustees then reviewed Domini's procedure for selecting a new submanager for the Fund. The Board of Trustees noted that Domini had conducted an extensive due diligence process with respect to seven candidates for the submanager position. This due diligence process involved a review of extensive questionnaires completed by submanager candidates, a review of publicly available filings and disciplinary records of each candidate, and in-person meetings to evaluate the quality of services and capability of each candidate. This due diligence process resulted in Domini's recommendation of Seix Advisors as submanager to the Domini Social Bond Fund. The Board of Trustees concluded that Domini had reviewed a sufficient pool of potential submanager candidates and had conducted an adequate due diligence process. The Board of Trustees then met with a representative of Seix Advisors. The Trustees considered information with respect to Seix Advisors and whether the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees considered the nature and quality of services expected to be provided by Seix Advisors. They noted that Seix Advisors had over $23 billion in fixed-income assets underprimarily portfolio management and reviewed a list of representative clients. The Trustees also reviewed and discussed information regarding Seix Advisors' knowledge and experience in managing fixed-income portfolios. The Trustees notedis subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) that the senior portfolio manager who would be responsible for the management of the Fund had over 23 years of experience in the investment management field, and that there was an experienced team of investment management professionals supporting the senior portfolio manager. The Trustees noted that there had been nearly no portfolio manager turnover at Seix Advisors since the inception of the firm. In evaluating Seix Advisors' ability to provide ongoing services to the Fund, the Trustees considered additional information as to Seix Advisors' business organization, financial resources, personnel, technology systems, and other matters.registrant (“Service Providers”).

Tax Fees.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board requires that the returnsCommittee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG relating to the operations or financial reporting of the composite were higher thanregistrant and all non-audit services provided by KPMG to the returns of bothregistrant’s Service Providers if the Fundengagement relates directly to the operations and the Fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Aggregate Index (LBIA), for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The Trustees also noted that the average annual total returnsfinancial reporting of the composite compared favorably with those of the Fund and the LBIA for the one- and two-year periods ended December 31, 2004. The Trustees considered that the performance of the composite slightly lagged the performance of the Fund and the LBIA for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, but determined that the amount of such underperformance was not significant. The Trustees also compared the performance of the Seix Advisors' composite with the performance information provided by the other investment managers considered by Domini and determined that the composite's performance was consistent with the performance of the other candidates. The Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Seix Advisors' composite was consistent and reasonable in relationregistrant. Prior to the historic performancecommencement of any audit or non-audit services, the Fund and the Fund's benchmark index. The Trustees also considered Seix Advisors' trading capabilities and reviewed its systems for executing the Fund's trades with broker-dealers. Although performance was a factor considered in the selection of a submanager, past performance is not indicative of future results, and performance over the benchmark and peers cannot be guaranteed. The Trustees also reviewed the investment management fees proposed by Seix Advisors (including the one-time fee of $25,000 to be paid by Domini to Seix Advisors upon the approval of the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement by the Fund's shareholders). The Trustees compared the investment management fees proposed by Seix Advisors with those proposed by other investment managers and the fees charged by ShoreBank. They noted that the fees proposed by Seix Advisors as well as the fees proposed by the other investment managers were higher than the fees paid to ShoreBank. The Trustees noted that, because as manager, Domini pays the submanager, Domini would bear the higher investment management fees charged by Seix Advisors. The Trustees also considered that the fees proposed by Seix Advisers generally were either lower than those proposed by other investment managers or contained a more favorable breakpoint schedule than those proposed by other managers. They -21- considered carefully the few instances where the fees proposed by other investment managers were slightly lower than those proposed by Seix Advisors and determined, based on the nature and quality ofAudit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The Trustees noted that they would consider the profits realized by Seix Advisors and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund when they considered whether to approve the continuanceparagraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. None of the agreement. The Trustees reviewedhours expended on the compliance policies and procedures of Seix Advisors as well as biographical information aboutprincipal accountant’s engagement to audit the Chief Compliance Officer of Trusco and supporting compliance department personnel. They noted that Seix Advisors had a clean disciplinary record and had systems in place in order to identify potential compliance issues. In particular, they noted that Seix Advisors had an automated guideline compliance system in place that would assist in preventing violations of the Fund's investment objectives and policies. In addition, the Trustees reviewed Seix Advisors' social profile, including its experience with managing socially screened accounts, the diversity of its management team and employees, and its commitment to community development. The Trustees noted that Seix Advisors managed approximately $5 billion in assets for clients with a variety of social standards. The Trustees considered that Seix Advisors was founded by a Hispanic woman, Christina Seix, and that the firm demonstrated a commitment to diversity in its workforce. The Trustees also reviewed SunTrust's activities in community-focused lending. Based upon its review, the Board of Trustees concluded the following: o Seix Advisors had demonstrated the ability to manage socially screened accounts, trade efficiently, and provide the information and analyses needed by Domini. o The terms of the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement were reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. -22- o The fees provided in the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality. Accordingly, after consideration of the above factors, and such other factors and information as it deemed relevant, the Board of Trustees terminated the ShoreBank Submanagement Agreement and approved the Seix Advisors Submanagement Agreement.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHARTER

Nominating Committee Charter

Adopted as of April 30, 2004

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of each of the Domini Social Index Portfolio, the Domini Social Investment Trust and the Domini Institutional Trust (each, a “Trust”) has adopted this Charter to govern the activities of the Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board.

Statement of Purpose and Responsibility

The selection and nomination of the independent Trustees is committed to the discretion of the then independent Trustees of the Trust. The primary purpose and responsibility of the Committee is the screening and nomination of candidates for election to the Board as independent trustees.

Organization and Governance

The Committee shall be comprised of as many Trustees as the Board shall determine, but in any event not fewer than two (2) Trustees. The Committee must consist entirely of Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Board may remove or replace any member of the Committee at any time in its sole discretion.

One or more members of the Committee may be designated by the Board as the Committee’s chairman or co-chairman, as the case may be.

The Committee will not have regularly scheduled meetings. Committee meetings shall be held as and when the Committee or the Board determines necessary or appropriate in accordance with the Trust’s Bylaws.

A- 2

Qualifications for Trustee Nominees

The Committee requires thatTrustee candidates have a college degree or equivalent business experience. The Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering Trustee candidates, including (but not limited to): (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities on the Board, (ii) relevant industry and related experience, (iii) educational background, (iv) ability, judgment and expertise and (v) overall diversity of the Board’s composition.

Identification of Nominees

In identifying potential nominees for the Board, the Committee may consider candidates recommended by one or more of the following sources: (i) the Trust’s current Trustees; (ii) the Trust’s officers; (iii) the Trust’s investment adviser or subadvisers; (iv) shareholders of any series of the Trust (see below); and (v) any other source the Committee deems to be appropriate. The Committee may, but is not required to, retain a third party search firm at the Trust’s expense to identify potential candidates.

Consideration of Candidates Recommended By Shareholders

The Committee will consider and evaluate nominee candidates properly submitted by shareholders on the same basis as it considers and evaluates candidates recommended by other sources.Appendix A to this Charter, as it may be amended from time to time by the Committee, sets forth procedures that must be followed by shareholders to submit properly a nominee candidate to the Committee (recommendations not properly submitted in accordance withAppendix A will not be considered by the Committee).

A- 3

Exhibit A

Appendix A

Procedures for Shareholders to Submit Nominee Candidates

As of April 30, 2004

A shareholder of a series of the Trust must follow the following procedures in order to submit properly a nominee recommendation for the Committee’s consideration.

1.

The shareholder must submit any such recommendation (a “Shareholder Recommendation”) in writing to the Trust, to the attention of the Secretary, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Trust. Once each quarter, if any Shareholder Recommendations have been received by the Secretary during the quarter, the Secretary will inform the Committee of the new Shareholder Recommendations. Because the Trust does not hold annual or other regular meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees, the Committee will accept Shareholder Recommendations on a continuous basis.

2.

Each time that the Committee convenes to consider candidates to fill Board vacancies or newly created Board positions (a “Trustee Consideration Meeting”), the Committee will consider each Shareholder Recommendation then held by the Secretary.

3.

The Committee may, in its discretion and at any time, convene to conduct an evaluation of validly submitted Shareholder Recommendations (each such meeting, an “Interim Evaluation”) for the purpose of determining which Shareholder Recommendations will be considered at the next Trustee Consideration Meeting.

4.

The Shareholder Recommendation must include:

A- 4

(i)         a statement in writing setting forth (A) the name, age, date of birth, business address, residence address and nationality of the person recommended by the shareholder (the “candidate”); (B) the number of shares of each series (and class) of the Trust owned of record or beneficially by the candidate, as reported to such shareholder by the candidate; (C) any other information regarding the candidate called for with respect to director nominees by paragraphs (a), (d), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K (generally information regarding family relationships, business experience and involvement in certain legal proceedings) or paragraph (b) of Item 22 of Rule 14a-101 (Schedule 14A) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the corresponding provisions of any regulation or rule subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor agency applicable to the Trust); (D) any other information regarding the candidate that would be required to be disclosed if the candidate were a nominee in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the election of Trustees or directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (E) whether the recommending shareholder believes that the candidate is or will be an "interested person" of the Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and, if not an "interested person," information regarding the candidate that will be sufficient for the Trust to make such determination;

(ii)        the written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Trustee if elected;

(iii)       the recommending shareholder’s name as it appears on the Trust’s books;

A- 5

(iv)        the number of shares of each series (and class) of the Trust owned beneficially and of record by the recommending shareholder; and

(v)         a description of all arrangements or understandings between the recommending shareholder and the candidate and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made by the recommending shareholder.

In addition, the Committee may require the candidate to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require or deem necessary to determine the eligibility of such candidate to serve on the Board or to satisfy applicable law.

5.

Each Shareholder Recommendation properly submitted to the Trust will be held by the Secretary until such time as the Committee instructs the Secretary that the Committee has considered the candidate who is the subject of such Shareholder Recommendation at a Trustee Consideration Meeting or an Interim Evaluation and has decided not to nominate such candidate. All such Shareholder Recommendations shall then be filed with the records of the Trust.

Information Regarding Other Funds Submanaged by

Wellington Management Company, LLP

with a Similar Investment Objective to the

Domini Social Equity Trust

Wellington Management acts as subadviser to two US registered investment companies in its Core US Intersection approach.  Those funds range in size from approximately $400 million to approximately $1.5 billion and have effective subadvisory fee rates ranging from 0.174% to 0.226%.  The funds are part of a family of funds for which Wellington Management subadvises in excess of $81 billion.  Wellington Management also acts as subadviser to two commingled investment vehicles which are not registered investment companies in its Core US Intersection approach.  Those vehicles range in size from approximately $103 million to approximately $140 million and have effective subadvisory fee rates ranging from 0.409% to 0.520%.  Wellington Management does not currently act as subadviser to any US registered investment companies in its Core US Quantitative approach.

The Core US Intersection approach differs from the Core US Quantitative approach that Wellington Management will use to manage the Domini Social Equity Trust.  The Core US Intersection approach uses both quantitative ranks (including value and momentum factors) and Wellington Management’s global industry analysts’ ratings in combination with Wellington Management's quantitative portfolio construction techniques.  The Core US Quantitative approach Wellington Management will use to manage the Domini Social Equity Trust will rely only on Wellington Management’s quantitative ranking to assess the relative attractiveness of the stocks in the investment universe and will not utilize Wellington Management’s analysts’ ratings, as is the case in the Core US Intersection approach.  In addition, Wellington Management will limit the universe of securities in which the Domini Social Equity Trust may invest to the universe of securities that have been approved by Domini based on its social and environmental analysis.  

The similarities between the Core US Intersection and Core US Quantitative approaches include the use of quantitative stock rankings to rank the relative attractiveness of stocks in the investment universe

based on value and momentum factors, and the use of quantitative portfolio construction techniques to manage overall portfolio risk.
