A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc., covering the six-month period from January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2009.

The severe recession and banking crisis that dominated the financial markets at the start of 2009 appear to have moderated as of mid-year. Previously frozen credit markets have thawed, giving businesses access to the capital they need to grow.After reaching multi-year lows in early March, equities staged an impressive rally, enabling most major stock market indices to end the six-month reporting period close to where they began. While the U.S. economy remains weak overall, we have seen encouraging evidence of potential recovery, including a recovering housing market and improvements within certain manufacturing sectors. Meanwhile, inflation has remained tame in the face of high unemployment and unused manufacturing capacity.

Although these developments give us reasons for optimism, we remain cautious due to the speed and magnitude of the stock market’s 2009 rebound. Indeed, the market’s advance was led mainly by lower-quality stocks when investors developed renewed appetites for risk. We would prefer to see a steadier rise in stock prices supported by more concrete economic data, as the rapid rise increases the possibility that profit-taking could move the market lower. In uncertain markets such as this one, even the most seasoned investors can benefit from professional counsel. To determine how your investments should be positioned for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, we continue to stress that you talk regularly with your financial advisor.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the Portfolio Manager.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period from January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2009, as provided by Jocelin Reed, Portfolio Manager

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009,The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund’s Initial shares produced a total return of 10.07%, and the fund’s Service shares returned 9.92%.¹ In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), produced a total return of 3.19% for the same period.² U.S. stocks bounced back from earlier recession-related losses, ending the reporting period with modest gains.The fund participated fully in the market’s recovery, significantly outperforming its benchmark due to an emphasis on technology stocks and certain energy-related industry groups.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks capital growth, with current income as a secondary objective.To pursue these goals, the fund invests primarily in the common stocks of companies that, in our opinion, meet traditional investment standards while simultaneously conducting their businesses in a manner that contributes to the enhancement of the quality of life in America. In selecting stocks, we begin by using quantitative research to identify and rank stocks within an industry or sector. Next, based on fundamental analysis, we designate the most attractive of the higher ranked securities as potential purchase candidates. We then evaluate potential purchase candidates by industry or sector,to determine whether the company meets the fund’s socially responsible investment criteria. We next select investments from those companies that we consider to be the most attractive based on financial considerations. If there is more than one company to choose from, we can select stocks of companies that we consider to have records that exhibit positive accomplishments in the fund’s areas of social concern.

The fund normally focuses on large-cap growth stocks; however, we may emphasize different types of growth-oriented stocks and different market capitalizations within the large-capitalization range as market conditions warrant.The fund also may invest in value-oriented stocks, midcap stocks and small-cap stocks.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Renewed Market Stability and Confidence

In January and February 2009, equity markets continued to experience the steep declines that characterized much of 2008 amid a deep and prolonged recession that had been exacerbated by a crisis in global credit markets. However, the U.S. stock market began to rally in March on the strength of improving credit conditions and expectations of economic stabilization. Stocks rebounded through June, wiping out losses sustained early in the reporting period.

Energy and Technology Stocks Powered the Fund’s Gains

The fund generated strong returns in the energy sector, compared to a slight loss for the benchmark’s energy stocks. Rising oil prices created a favorable environment for exploration-and-production companies and energy services providers, areas the fund emphasized. Some of the fund’s stronger holdings included exploration-and-production companies Talisman Energy, Nexen and Southwestern Energy; offshore drilling service providers Noble and ENSCO International; and transportation specialist SEACOR Holdings.

Overweighted exposure to technology stocks enabled the fund to outperform its benchmark in the sector. Quantitative analysis showed relatively stable earnings in the information technology sector, where top performers included computer and peripheral companies, such as Apple and EMC; semiconductor manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments; communication equipment makers,such as QUALCOMM;and software developers, such as Microsoft.Among industrial stocks, one of the benchmark’s weaker sectors during the reporting period, the fund limited losses by avoiding General Electric, which suffered as a result of credit exposure in its capital finance segment.

On a more negative note,the market’s increasing appetite for risk undermined returns from some of the fund’s more defensive holdings.Among financial stocks, traditionally defensive companies, such as insurers Chubb and Aflac, produced disappointing returns.Aflac was sold during the reporting period. Similarly, in the consumer staples sector, the fund’s investment in Procter & Gamble underperformed the market.

Emphasizing Growth Stocks with Stable Earnings

As of June 30,2009,we have continued to emphasize market sectors with relatively stable earnings growth, while de-emphasizing sectors exhibit-

4

ing high levels of earnings volatility. As a result, the fund has remained tilted toward growth stocks, including overweighted exposure to information technology stocks and underweighted positions in energy and financial stocks. In addition, our quantitative analysis indicates overvalued conditions among some of the market’s largest companies. Consequently, while the fund remains a large-cap investment vehicle, its average market capitalization currently is smaller than that of the benchmark.

Benefiting from Environmental Regulation Developments

Environmental issues have long stood as a cornerstone of the fund’s socially responsible investment criteria, as illustrated by several current holdings. The Environmental Protection Agency recently commended 3M for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 60% from 2002 through 2007, and the company has developed products to help customers meet environmental goals as well. Emerson Electric has established a leadership position in energy efficient power control systems. United Technologies has launched a wide range of environmental products and services, from the advanced design of aircraft engines in its Pratt & Whitney division to increased energy efficiency in its Carrier HVAC systems.We believe such companies are well positioned to benefit from growing momentum toward stronger federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions.

For further information regarding the fund’s approach to socially responsible investing, please consult the fund’s prospectus.

	The fund is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable
	annuity contracts issued by insurance companies. Individuals may not purchase shares of the fund
	directly. A variable annuity is an insurance contract issued by an insurance company that enables
	investors to accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis for retirement or other long-term goals.The
	investment objective and policies of The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc. made
	available through insurance products may be similar to other funds managed or advised by
	Dreyfus. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and may not be
	comparable to, those of any other Dreyfus fund.
1	Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no
	guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption,
	fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.The fund’s performance does not
	reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in
	variable insurance contracts, which will reduce returns.
2	SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital
	gain distributions.The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index is a widely accepted,
	unmanaged index of U.S. stock market performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment com-pany.The fund’s investment objective is to provide capital growth, with current income as a secondary goal through equity investments in companies that not only meet traditional investment standards, but which also show evidence that they conduct their business in a manner that contributes to the enhancement of the quality of life in America. The fund is only offered to separate accounts established by insurance companies to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the funds’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue 300 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Initial shares (150 million shares authorized) and Service shares (150 million shares authorized). Initial shares are subject to a shareholder services fee and Service shares are subject to a distribution fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the shareholder services plan, the distribution plan, and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Fund 17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available, are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

The fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “FairValue Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

18

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to FAS 157.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. 

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted 

prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, 

credit risk, etc.). 

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own 

assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2009 in valuing the fund’s investments:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management bank whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan will be maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit. The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended June 30, 2009, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $5,843 from lending fund portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from

20

net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended June 30, 2009, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $173,924,909 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 2008. If not applied,$50,319,693 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2009,$103,833,733 expires in fiscal 2010 and $19,771,483 expires in fiscal 2011.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was as follows: ordinary income $2,053,150. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $145 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of Facility fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.

The average daily amount of borrowing outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $10,700, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.56%.

NOTE 3—Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of .75% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Service shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares, for servicing and/or maintaining Service shares shareholder accounts and for advertising and marketing for Service shares.The Plan provides for payments to be made at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the Service shares’ average daily net assets.The Distributor may make payments to Participating Insurance Companies and to brokers and dealers acting as principal underwriter for their variable insurance products.The fees payable under the Plan are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred. During the period ended June 30, 2009, Service shares were charged $6,021 pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Initial shares reimburse the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the

22

value of the Initial shares’ average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses with respect to servicing and/or maintaining Initial shares shareholder accounts.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended June 30, 2009, the fund was charged $633 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a cash management agreement for performing cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended June 30, 2009, the fund was charged $96 pursuant to the cash management agreement. These fees were offset by earnings credits pursuant to the cash management agreement.

The fund also compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. During the period ended June 30, 2009, the fund was charged $49,952 pursuant to the custody agreement

The fund adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since the fund held no derivatives during the period ended June 30, 2009, FAS 161 disclosures did not impact the notes to the financial statements.
