Subject: Shareholder Vote Required
Dear Green Century Balanced Fund Shareholder,
We are writing to inform you of an upcoming shareholder vote that requires your immediate attention. Your participation is important to ensure that your interests are represented and that your mutual fund can move forward on key matters.
Purpose of the Meeting: At its meeting on October 9, 2025, the Green Century Balanced Fund’s Board of Trustees approved an investment subadvisory agreement with Northern Trust, subject to approval by the Fund’s shareholders. The Board believes that engaging Northern Trust as the Fund’s subadviser will benefit the Fund and its shareholders. Northern Trust has more than thirty years of experience in sustainable and responsible investing and currently manages over $230 billion in environmentally and socially responsible portfolios. Green Century believes that Northern Trust possesses the expertise, resources, and long-term commitment to environmentally responsible investment management that align with Green Century’s mission and values.
Action Needed:
Please submit your vote as soon as possible and before February 25, 2026, by one of the following methods:
| • | Online: Go to www.proxyvote.com. Your unique control number can be found on the enclosed ballot in the box marked with an arrow. |
| • | Call:1-866-705-9912 to speak to a live representative. OR call the number located on your ballot (to vote using an automated system) |
| • | Mail: Mark, sign and date the enclosed ballot and mail in the envelope provided |
Why Your Vote Matters
If too many shareholders do not vote promptly, the management of the Balanced Fund may need to incur additional costs to continue soliciting votes, and approval of the new investment subadvisory agreement could be delayed. Your prompt vote helps avoid these additional expenses and ensures that your views are represented in this important decision.
If you have questions about this shareholder vote or any other matters pertaining to your Green Century investment, please call Green Century at 1-800-934-7336 Monday to Friday from 9 am to 6 pm Eastern Time. We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your continued investment in the Green Century Balanced Fund and your participation in this important vote.
Sincerely,
Leslie Samuelrich
President
