A SPECIAL NOTICE TO ALL
CALVERT GROUP SHAREHOLDERS
We're pleased to announce that on April 21, 1997, Barbara Krumsiek joined
Calvert Group as president and chief executive officer. Ms. Krumsiek comes to
Calvert Group from Alliance Capital Management, where she served as senior vice
president and managing director of their mutual funds division. She has 20 years
experience in mutual fund management and marketing.
Ms. Krumsiek replaces former Calvert Group president, Clifton S. Sorrell,
who stepped down earlier this year after nearly 10 years in the top post.
We look forward to Ms. Krumsiek leading the company into the next century
and bringing Calvert Group mutual funds to a growing number of new investors. We
welcome her to the Calvert Group family.
A Note From the Chairman
Dear Investor:
The financial markets have continued their growth over the past six months,
although with some loss of momentum. While financial returns have been positive,
there is an increasing wariness of where this free market exuberance has been
taking our markets and our society. Some developments, such as the cuts in
military spending, have helped fuel the economic expansion and better aligned
our priorities for the future, but other trends have raised concerns among a
diverse chorus of participants and observers.
In one of the most controversial articles published this year, no less than
the self-proclaimed "supercapitalist" George Soros noted in the Atlantic Monthly
that "although I have made a fortune in financial markets, I now fear that the
untrammeled intensification of laissez-faire capitalism and the spread of market
values into all areas of life is endangering our open and democratic society.
The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but
the capitalist threat."
It is refreshing to see such a viewpoint expressed from someone who helps
shape the markets. And yet, his ideas beg the question "What can be done?" Our
answer is an emphasis of social responsibility in the context of the choices
that can be made with free market forces. I am heartened that over the past year
we have been able to make some of those leadership choices as our response.
Shareholder Activism
The Fund continues to engage portfolio companies in a dialogue for change.
We've been communicating with The Walt Disney Company about serious allegations
of labor and human rights violations. Disney faced a shareholder resolution by
religious and social investors on supplier standards, and another resolution
linking the company's executive compensation with its contractors' working
conditions in Haiti. CSIF voted its shares in support of both resolutions.
Disney has developed a code of conduct for all of its licensees and
manufacturers. The Code prohibits the use of child labor and corporal punishment
or other forms of mental and physical coercion, and requires a safe and healthy
workplace and compliance with applicable wage and hour laws. We will continue
our dialogue with Disney and continue to monitor Disney's international
operations.
Last year, the Fund agreed to withdraw a shareholder resolution we had
filed with Morton International, when the company agreed to publish its first
environmental, health and safety report. While the recently released report
provides a succinct overview of the company's successes and challenges on these
issues, we will continue to press for improvements in the company's programs.
Special Equities
Another part of our solution is to foster young companies that provide the
seeds for a sustainable society. One investment we made during this period was
in Agraquest, a company that helps identify and develop natural ways for farmers
to control insects and fungi through the use of living microbes. The company is
well positioned to take advantage of a growing opinion that natural pesticides
are superior to synthetic chemicals in terms of effectiveness, cost, and health
and environmental impact.
Also during this period the special equity portfolio saw its investment in
Aviron, a nasal vaccine delivery system, go public which resulted in an increase
in the value of the investment as well as improve the prospects for easy flu
"snorts" to protect older people and children. And our company Fountainhead,
which provides an environmentally safer, chlorine-free means to clean water in
pools and spas was acquired by another company at a profit to the Fund. As
always, more information about these companies of the future is available at our
website, www.CalvertSIF.com.
High Social Impact Investments
Finally, an important part of our solution is the one percent of assets the
Fund puts aside for community initiatives. These are typically offered at
less-than-market returns but are instrumental in rebuilding urban and rural
communities. One such investment is the Self-Help Ventures Fund which helps
individuals throughout North Carolina start and expand their own businesses.
Loan recipient Mary Neal took advantage of a special program that finances
childcare and healthcare providers. With Self-Help's financial and technical
assistance, she was able to expand her business. As a result, the Mary Neal
Childcare Center created 8 new jobs, added 24 more affordable childcare slots
and was able to offer affordable daycare throughout the day as well as during
evening work shifts.
Know What You Own
For our style of investing to make an even larger impact on the markets, we
need to expand our circle of shareholders. To that end, we have embarked on a
high profile public awareness campaign that seeks to educate investors about the
choices they often unwittingly make when they invest in mutual funds. Starting
with the issue of tobacco, our Know What You Own message has sparked tens of
thousands of investors across the country to call us or visit our website at
www.calvertgroup.com to find out what companies they own. Later this year we
will be adding new dimensions to the website to help investors make informed
decisions along a wider range of issues.
New CEO at Calvert
Calvert Group has just appointed Barbara Krumsiek as its new President and
Chief Executive Officer. Barbara comes to Calvert from Alliance Capital
Management where she served as senior vice president and managing director for
the firm's mutual fund arm, overseeing $17 billion in assets. Her impressive
array of marketing and analytical talents combined with her outstanding track
record as an effective manager will help her lead Calvert Group into the next
millennium. Furthermore, as one of a handful of women running mutual fund
complexes, Barbara will help break through the glass ceiling that often
characterizes this industry.
As the Fund nears its 15th anniversary, I think back to the early years
when skeptics didn't think this idea would work. It is rewarding to reflect on
the good work we have accomplished for our investors and for future generations
since 1982. At the same time, it is humbling to consider how much more we can do
and need to do to develop and spread our model of investing.
Thank you again for your patience and trust. I am excited about the
contributions Barbara Krumsiek will make toward furthering the goals, both
financial and social, of the Fund.
Sincerely,
D. Wayne Silby
Chairman, Board of Trustees

CALVERT SOCIAL INVESTMENT FUND
Dear Shareholder:
This report covers the performance and strategy of the Calvert Social
Investment Fund for the six months ended March 31, 1997.
Despite investors' collective worries that a stock market correction was
just around the corner, the market continued to advance, as measured by the most
widely covered market averages, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the
Dow Jones Industrial Average. However, the market has been increasingly volatile
(which is common in the late stages of bull markets), and many market sectors
and industries did not share in the positive gains reported by the S&P and Dow
benchmarks.
SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES

3/96 5/96 7/96 9/96 11/96 1/97 3/97
_____Federal Funds Rate
-----90 Day Treasury Bill
.....1 Year Treasury Bill
Short-term interest rates remained low on a historical basis but began to
trend higher heading into 1997. In March, the Federal Reserve intervened to slow
the pace of economic growth and took steps to raise rates.
Money Market Portfolio
Managed by Calvert Asset Management Company
Money market yields moved higher, keeping in-step with the rise in
short-term market rates. The Portfolio's yield was comparable to the yield
available on an average of similar funds.
We kept the weighted average maturity short, relative to the average, so
that the yield would reflect any rise in rates quickly. Maturity was 36 days at
period end, compared to 53 days for the average money market fund. We also
continued to invest roughly 50% of assets in variable rate demand notes. Yields
on variable rate demand notes are reset periodically, so they correspond closely
to changes in money market rates.
ANNUALIZED COMPOUND DIVIDEND YIELD
Bond Portfolio
Managed by Calvert Asset Management Company
Calvert Asset Management Company (CAMCO) took over management of the Bond
Portfolio in March, replacing United States Trust Company. Since assuming
responsibility for managing assets, we have taken steps to bring the portfolio
in line with our outlook and investment approach. In general, CAMCO pursues a
very active portfolio management strategy, seeking out bonds that offer
attractive yields as well as the potential for price appreciation. We look to
maintain broad diversification among types of securities and sectors.
The Portfolio's weighted average duration which, like maturity, is a
measure of interest rate sensitivity, was 5.25 years at period-end. This is near
the short end of the Portfolio's target range, reflecting our outlook for
gradually rising rates over the next several months.
We reduced the Portfolio's exposure to mortgage-backed securities from
approximately 28% in September to about 8% at period end and roughly 5% as of
this writing. Mortgages perform best in a stable interest rate environment. When
rates rise, homeowners tend not to prepay their mortgages, which effectively
increases the average life of mortgage-backed securities. Prices of longer-term
securities decline more in response to a rise in rates.
Proceeds from sales of mortgage-backed issues were reinvested mainly in
corporate bonds. The percentage of assets committed to corporates increased from
roughly 30% of assets at the end of September to approximately 70% at the close
of this period. Within the corporate sector, we built a core position in bonds
issued by companies in the financial services industry, where yield spreads
relative to Treasury securities tend to fluctuate within a fairly wide range,
and a smaller position in bonds issued by companies in industrial industries,
where yield spreads tend to remain more stable. (Industrials is a very broad
grouping that is essentially comprised of all companies not included in the
financial services, transportation or utilities categories.)
The shift in assets from mortgages to corporates has altered the
Portfolio's credit-quality structure; but overall, a very high percentage of
assets (roughly 65%) remain committed to securities that are issued by
government agencies or have Standard & Poor's credit ratings of AAA, AA, or A,
the three highest ratings.
Managed Growth Portfolio
The Managed Growth Portfolio maintained its target allocation of roughly
55% equity securities and 45% fixed-income securities throughout the six-month
period covered by this report.
The Portfolio underperformed its benchmark for the six months, primarily
due to the equity component's overweighting in some of the poorer performing
stock market groups (especially the technology and financial services
industries) and its underweighting in some of the better-performing areas
(energy). In addition, our equity managers focus mainly on growth stocks, stocks
that have the potential to generate above-average earnings, and investors have
recently favored value stocks, stocks trading at discount prices.
Fixed-Income Investments-Calvert Asset Management
Calvert Asset Management Company (CAMCO) became the sole money manager for
the fixed-income portion of Managed Growth's assets in December, replacing
United States Trust Company. Since then, we have taken steps to bring the
portfolio in line with our outlook and investment approach. In general, CAMCO
pursues a very active portfolio management strategy, seeking out bonds that
offer attractive yields as well as the potential for price appreciation. We look
to maintain broad diversification among types of securities and sectors.
In keeping with our expectations for gradually rising rates, we kept the
Portfolio's duration near the short end of our target range. It was 5.35 years
at period-end. We also reduced the Portfolio's holdings of mortgage-backed
securities and added to the Portfolio's holdings of corporate bonds.
Equity Investments-NCM Capital Management
This portion of the Portfolio contributed positive returns but was hurt by
a setback in the financial services and technology sectors. Financial services
turned in good gains for the last quarter of 1996, but they lost ground in the
first quarter of 1997 on concerns for rising interest rates. In the technology
sector, semiconductor holdings were a drag on otherwise strong returns from this
group in the last quarter of 1996. But for the first quarter of 1997, most of
the technology stocks declined in value.
On the positive side, many of NCM's consumer products and health care
issues turned in good gains. These included Hershey Foods, Colgate Palmolive and
Merck.
Equity Investments-Brown Capital Management
Brown Capital Management began managing a portion of Portfolio assets in
October. This firm pursues a "growth at a reasonable price" strategy, that is
they look to identify promising companies with above-average growth potential
and to not pay too much more than the market for them. They tend to focus on
stocks with mid- to large-market capitalizations (market capitalization = share
price 5 number of shares outstanding).
Over the past several months, this manager took steps to identify and
invest in several large-cap companies that, in their opinion, will be able to
sustain double-digit growth over the next several years, operate at a higher
level of profitability than the overall market and were reasonably priced. These
included Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Johnson & Johnson. As a result of this
initiative, the average market capitalization of the companies they selected for
the Portfolio has increased from $16.2 billion at the end of 1996 to $19.5
billion at the close of this reporting period.
Fund assets managed by Brown appreciated over the period, but their returns
were also hurt by an overweighting in the financial services and technology
sectors. Although the sell-off in these groups negatively affected short-term
performance, Brown is confident in the longer-term trends that support their
positive outlook for these stocks. Therefore, their response was to selectively
add to positions, specifically in Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco Systems, and
Chase Manhattan Bank.
Equity Portfolio
Managed by Loomis, Sayles & Company
The Equity Portfolio gained 5.42% over the past six months, a return a bit
above that of its peer group but below that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock
Index.
The Equity Portfolio was positioned in some of the best performing
industries, including pharmaceuticals and apparel. The Portfolio also earned
good gains from their bank and semiconductor stocks. Relative performance was
hindered by exposure to computer networking and software companies.
Bank holdings Chase Manhattan and BankAmerica did very well due to their
ability to grow earnings through solid revenue growth, tight expense control,
merger-related savings and share repurchase programs. Pharmaceutical companies
Merck and Schering Plough contributed good gains as new products have driven
revenue and profits higher. Liz Claiborne, the largest women's apparel company
in the US, also boosted the Portfolio's return as this company was successful in
reducing costs and revitalizing their core business. Semiconductor manufacturer
Intel had stellar gains over the period and was able to double year-over-year
profits in the latest quarter.
Networking and software holdings were a drag on recent performance. On the
basis of their long-term positive outlook for this group, the manager initiated
positions in several networking stocks after these had declined significantly
from their highs. Although added at compelling prices, these stocks continued to
slide going into the end of this reporting period, due to uncertainty over
near-term demand. Over the long-term, Loomis, Sayles believes that demand for
networking products will be robust, due to increased use of the Internet, growth
in telecommuting and the need for company branch offices to share data.
Outlook
The economic climate looks favorable for both stocks and bonds. While rates
will likely move a bit higher, we don't anticipate a sharp increase or a halt to
the current economic expansion.
The markets will likely continue to exhibit a high degree of volatility.
However, we think many sectors of the stock market, including small-company
stocks, financial services and technology issues, have experienced or are now
experiencing a correction. With this behind them, they should have room to
appreciate.
Thank you for your investment in the Calvert Social Investment Fund.
Sincerely,
Barbara J. Krumsiek

Note A-Significant Accounting Policies
General: The Calvert Social Investment Fund (the "Fund") is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Fund operates as a series fund with four separate
portfolios: Money Market, Managed Growth, Bond and Equity. Each Portfolio offers
shares of beneficial interest. Money Market shares are sold without a sales
charge. Managed Growth and Equity offer both Class A and Class C shares. Class A
shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% (3.75% for Bond).
Class C shares, which have no transaction-based sales charge, have a higher
annual expense rate than Class A. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates,
due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class specific
expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class specific voting rights. On
October 29, 1996, all outstanding Class C shares in the Bond Portfolio were
converted into an equivalent value of Class A shares. This transaction was a
non-taxable exchange and no sales charge was applied to the Class A shares
issued.
Security Valuation: Securities listed or traded on a national securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Unlisted securities and
listed securities for which the last sale price is not available are valued at
the most recent bid price or based on a yield equivalent obtained from the
securities' market maker. Municipal securities are valued utilizing the average
of bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix system (which considers such
factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings) furnished by dealers
through an independent pricing service. Foreign security prices, furnished by
quotation services in the security's local currency, are translated using the
current U.S. dollar exchange rate. All securities held by Money Market are
valued at amortized cost which approximates market. The Fund may invest in
securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Restricted securities and
other securities and assets for which market quotations are not available or
deemed inappropriate are valued in good faith under the direction of the Board
of Trustees.
Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all
instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total
repurchase price, including accrued interest.
Options: The Fund may write or purchase option securities. The option
premium is the basis for recognition of unrealized or realized gain or loss on
the option. The cost of securities acquired or the proceeds from securities sold
through the exercise of the option is adjusted by the amount of the premium.
Futures Contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts agreeing to
buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. The Fund
maintains securities with a value equal to its obligation under each contract.
Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities are made upon entering into
futures contracts; thereafter, variation margin payments are made or received
daily reflecting the change in market value. Unrealized or realized gains and
losses are recognized based on the change in market value. Risks of futures
contracts arise from the possible illiquidity of the futures markets and the
movement in the value of the investment or in interest rates.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an
identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or,
in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, accretion of discount and
amortization of premium are recorded on an accrual basis.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund's accounting records are maintained
in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net
asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S.
dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and
expenses are converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the
event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities is included
in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded
by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid
monthly by Money Market (accrued daily) and Bond, quarterly by Managed Growth
and annually by Equity. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any,
are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's
capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under
income tax regulations.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expense Offset Arrangement: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian
bank whereby the custodian's fees are paid indirectly by credits earned on each
Portfolio's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangement is an
alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is
required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of
its earnings.
Note B-Related Party Transactions
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by
Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly-owned by Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services
and pays the salaries and fees of officers and affiliated Trustees of the Fund.
For its services, the Advisor receives monthly fees based on the following
annual rates of average daily net assets: .50 % for Money Market, .70% for both
Managed Growth and Equity, and .65% for Bond. Effective June, 1995, Equity began
paying a monthly performance fee of plus or minus .20%, on an annual basis, of
average daily net assets of the performance period depending on the Portfolio's
performance compared to the Standard & Poor's Composite Stock Price Index.
The Advisor reimburses the Portfolios for their respective operating
expenses (excluding brokerage fees, taxes, interest, Distribution Plan expenses
and extraordinary items) exceeding the following annual rates of average daily
net assets: 1.5% on the first $30 million and 1.0% on the excess of $30 million
for Money Market and Bond; 2.5% on the first $30 million, 2.0% on the next $70
million and 1.5% on the excess of $100 million for Managed Growth and Equity.
Calvert Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, is the distributor and
principal underwriter for the Fund. Distribution Plans, adopted by each class of
shares, allow the Portfolios to pay the distributor for expenses and services
associated with distribution of shares. The expenses paid may not exceed .35%
and 1.0% annually of average daily net assets of each Class A and Class C for
Managed Growth, Bond and Equity, respectively. The expenses of Money Market are
limited to .25% annually of average daily net assets.
The Distributor received the following as its portion of the commissions
charged on sales of each Portfolio's shares: $156,934 for Managed Growth,
$24,797 for Bond and $99,096 for Equity.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as
transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund.
Each Trustee who is not affiliated with the Advisor receives an annual fee
of $15,430 plus $600 for each Board and Committee meeting attended. Additional
fees of up to $10,000 annually may be paid to the Chairperson of special
committees of the Board. Trustee's fees are allocated to each of the funds
served.
Umbono Investment Corp., which is an affiliate because Managed Growth owns
over 5% of the voting securities, was purchased at a cost of $7,849,582 for
2,850,429 shares.
Note C-Investment Activity

Money Market held only short-term investments.
The cost of investments owned at March 31, 1997 was substantially the same
for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes for each Portfolio. The
following table presents the components of net unrealized appreciation

Expiration dates 1997-2004 - 2003-2004 -
Capital losses may be utilized to offset current and future capital gains
until expiration.
As a cash management practice, Portfolios may sell or purchase short-term
variable rate demand notes from other Portfolios managed by the Advisor. All
transactions are executed at independently derived prices.
Note D-ubsequent Event

Real Goods: A Sustainable Future Begins at Home
Want to change the world? Start by changing your light bulbs.
For John Schaeffer, president and founder of Real Goods Trading
Corporation, building a sustainable future begins at home. Schaeffer created
Real Goods in 1978 to provide alternative energy products to his local
California neighbors. The company has since grown to become the world's largest
retailer of renewable energy products, providing consumers with more than 3,500
different products including photovoltaic panels, efficient lighting products,
and water conservation devices.
For nearly two decades, Real Goods has made environmental innovation and
education two of its top priorities, publishing the Solar Living Sourcebook and
garnering a host of awards.
In 1996, for example, Real Goods:
opened a 12-acre Solar Living Center, a workable model of sustainable
building, agriculture, and renewable energy practices that is built entirely of
recycled and reused materials;
won the Rodale Award for Environmental Excellence;
became the first company in history to be approved by the SEC to publicly
trade its stock on the Internet.
In 1996 CSIF invested $475,000 in Real Goods stock to support the company's
strong vision of sustainability and business savvy. According to Wayne Silby,
Chair of the Special Equities Committee, "We see lots of companies with good
ideas and a vision. But the people who can take their vision into the
marketplace and get a good response are unusual and valuable. These are the
companies whose ideas will help define and shape our lives in the 21st century."
As of March 31, 1997, Real Goods represented .064% of net assets in CSIF
Managed Growth Portfolio.

Environmental Enterprises Assistance Fund: Breaking New Ground for
Green Entrepreneurs
For the first time in recorded history, many residents of San Pedro Sula,
Honduras, can now wake up and drink fresh water. Water is the liquid of life,
but for the people of San Pedro Sula and millions of others in developing
nations, fresh water is often in dramatically short supply.
Thanks to funds provided by the Environmental Enterprises Assistance Fund
(EEAF), a nonprofit organization operating as a venture capital fund, residents
of San Pedro Sula can now enjoy the health benefits of safe drinking water. In
1996, EEAF received $125,000 from CSIF's High Social Impact Investment program.
These funds helped support EcoVerde, an EEAF-assisted project that is the only
privately owned water and sewage utility in Honduras. Apart from safe drinking
water, the EcoVerde project has also enabled San Pedro Sula to treat its sewage
to international standards -a rarity in Central America. EEAF has since used
CSIF's initial investment to help raise $10 million in environmental and
community development projects in Central America.
According to EEAF, CSIF's investment enabled the organization to open the
door to other environmental entrepreneurs in the region. "Calvert has the vision
to invest in areas where the effect of the investment is felt immediately on a
community level," said J.D. Doliner of EEAF.
Calvert was attracted to EEAF's focus on green investments in areas often
neglected by traditional sources of capital. "EEAF is making significant,
successful loans that give people the resources they needed to build a more
sustainable future," said CSIF Trustee Terry Mollner, chair of CSIF's High
Social Impact Investment Committee.
EEAF focuses its investments in six areas: renewable energy, energy
efficiency, sustainable agriculture and forestry, recycling, eco-tourism, and
pollution control. With 22 projects stretching from Indonesia to Poland to
Honduras and $17million in assets under management, EEAF is helping create a
greener future for communities like San Pedro Sula across the globe.
