Supplement to
Calvert Income Funds Prospectus (Class R)
dated January 31, 2015
Date of Supplement: October 1, 2015
Effective immediately, Calvert Income Fund (the “Fund”) has adopted the Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment. Furthermore, effective November 16, 2015, the Fund has approved the addition of certain portfolio managers to the Fund to better reflect a team approach to portfolio management.
Responsible Investment Principles
Effective immediately, the Prospectus is hereby amended as follows:
The last paragraph under “Investments, Risks and Performance – Principal Investment Strategies” in the Fund Summary on page 2 is deleted and replaced with the following:

Responsible Investing. In conjunction with Calvert’s financial analysis, Calvert’s comprehensive responsible investment principles guide our investment research processes and decision-making. The principles are applied across industries and to specific companies in order to inform our view of risk and opportunity factors that may affect investment performance.
Under "Investments, Risks and Performance – Principal Risks” in the Fund Summary on page 3, delete “Tobacco Exclusion Risk” and insert the following:
Responsible Investing Risk. Investing primarily in responsible investments carries the risk that, under certain market conditions, the Fund may underperform funds that invest in a broader array of investments. The application of responsible investment principles may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain sectors or types of investments and may impact the Fund’s relative investment performance, depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market.
After the section "Portfolio Holdings" on page 9 of the Prospectus, insert the following:
ABOUT RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT

Calvert seeks to invest in companies that balance the needs of financial and non-financial stakeholders and demonstrate a commitment to the global commons as well as to the rights of individuals and communities.
Calvert’s passive indices seek to include companies based on the following Principles. Calvert's active investment strategies give priority to the Principles and seek superior risk adjusted financial returns relative to market benchmarks.
