ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the SEC, utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may from time to time sell any combination of the securities identified in this prospectus and described in any prospectus supplement in one or more offerings. We may offer debt securities of Mellon Funding Corporation and related guarantees of Mellon Financial Corporation; trust preferred securities of the trusts and related junior subordinated debentures and guarantees of Mellon Financial Corporation and Mellon Funding Corporation; preferred stock, depositary shares and common stock of Mellon Financial Corporation; and stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units. We may also offer warrants, preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.” The prospectus supplement may also contain information about certain United States federal income tax considerations relating to the securities covered by the prospectus supplement.

References in this prospectus to “we” mean Mellon Financial Corporation and, in connection with the debt securities, include Mellon Funding Corporation. Mellon Funding Corporation is a financing entity for Mellon Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, as described under the Heading “Mellon Funding Corporation.” References herein to “debt securities” and the “related guarantees” mean debt securities issued by Mellon Funding Corporation and related guarantees of Mellon Financial Corporation.

MELLON FUNDING CORPORATION

Mellon Funding Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation, is incorporated in Pennsylvania. It functions as a financing entity for the Mellon Financial Corporation and our subsidiaries by issuing commercial paper and other debt guaranteed by Mellon Financial Corporation. Financial data for Mellon Funding Corporation is combined with Mellon Financial Corporation and with Mellon Capital I and Mellon Capital II, special purpose business trusts formed by Mellon Financial Corporation for the sole purpose of issuing capital securities, and MIPA, LLC, a single member limited liability company wholly owned by Mellon Financial Corporation, for financial reporting purposes due to the limited function of Mellon Funding Corporation and the unconditional guarantees by Mellon Financial Corporation of all of the obligations of Mellon Funding Corporation, Mellon Capital I, Mellon Capital II and MIPA, LLC.

THE TRUSTS

Each of the trusts is a statutory trust formed under Delaware law pursuant to a trust agreement, between Mellon Financial Corporation, as depositor of each trust, and a Delaware trustee, and the filing of a certificate of trust with the Delaware Secretary of State. The trust agreement of each trust will be amended and restated in its entirety, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part (each as so amended and restated, a trust agreement), prior to the issuance of trust preferred securities by the trust. Each trust agreement is qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table sets forth our ratios of earnings to fixed charges. Fixed charges represent interest expense, one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest factor) of net rental expense, and amortization of debt issue costs.

	Six Months Ended June 30,		Year Ended December 31,
	2006	2005	2005	2004	2003	2002	2001
Mellon Financial Corporation (Parent Corporation)	3.26	4.33	4.34	3.83	4.83	5.28	3.73
Mellon Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries
Excluding interest on deposits	3.88	5.80	4.89	5.37	4.88	4.16	2.57
Including interest on deposits	2.32	3.45	2.88	3.78	3.68	3.11	1.79

The parent corporation ratios include the accounts of Mellon Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”); Mellon Funding Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation that functions as a financing entity for the Corporation and its subsidiaries by issuing commercial paper and other debt guaranteed by the Corporation; and MIPA, LLC, a single member limited liability company wholly owned by the Corporation, created to hold and administer corporate owned life insurance. Because these ratios exclude from earnings the equity in undistributed net income (loss) of subsidiaries, these ratios vary with the payment of dividends by such subsidiaries.

In the ratios for Mellon Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, earnings represent income before taxes from continuing operations and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, plus fixed charges from continuing operations. We have presented these ratios both including and excluding interest on deposits in fixed charges from continuing operations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sales of the securities as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

VALIDITY OF SECURITIES

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement indicates otherwise, certain matters of Delaware law relating to the validity of the trust preferred securities, the enforceability of the applicable trust agreement and the creation of each trust will be passed upon for Mellon Financial Corporation and for the trusts by Richards Layton & Finger, special Delaware counsel to Mellon Financial Corporation and the trusts.

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement indicates otherwise, the validity of the securities to be issued under this prospectus, except for those matters with respect to the validity of the trust preferred securities passed

PART II.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

Estimated expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of an assumed amount of $2,000,000,000 of Securities registered under this Registration Statement are as follows:

SEC registration fee	$	214,000
Fees of rating agencies		300,000
Trustees’ fees and expenses		100,000
Printing and engraving		150,000
Accounting services		450,000
Legal fees of Registrants’ counsel		400,000
Miscellaneous		76,000
Total	$	1,690,000

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of Mellon Financial Corporation and the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of Mellon Funding Corporation each provide that, except as prohibited by law, every director and officer of Mellon Financial Corporation or Mellon Funding Corporation, as applicable, shall be entitled as of right to be indemnified by the corporation against expenses and any liability paid or incurred by such person in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, whether brought by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise, in which such person may be involved (subject to certain limitations in the case of actions by such person against the corporation) by reason of such person being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or serving or having served at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other representative of another entity. The Articles also give to indemnitees the right to have their expenses in defending such actions paid in advance by us, subject to any obligation imposed by law or otherwise to reimburse the corporation in certain events. Mellon Financial Corporation has entered into an indemnity agreement with each director and certain of its officers which provides a contractual right to indemnification against such expenses and liabilities (subject to certain limitations and exceptions) and a contractual right to advancement of expenses and contains additional provisions regarding determination of entitlement, defense of claims, rights of contribution and other matters.

The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers, and to pay their expenses in advance, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. The specific indemnity provisions, which are by their terms not intended to be exclusive, are, in general, not as broad as the provisions of the articles and the indemnity agreement. However, one provision would preclude indemnification in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness, and another provision requires that advances of expenses may be made by a corporation only upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Mellon Financial Corporation and Mellon Funding Corporation maintain liability insurance policies covering their directors and officers to insure against claims arising out of certain alleged wrongful acts on the part of such directors and officers and against claims arising out of certain alleged breaches of fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 on the part of such directors and officers.

Article Seventh of Mellon Financial Corporation’s Articles and Article Two of Mellon Financial Corporation’s by-laws, as amended, both adopted by the shareholders of the corporation at their annual meeting

II-1

on April 20, 1987, and Article Eight of Mellon Funding Corporation’s articles and Section II of Mellon Funding Corporation’s by-laws, as amended, further provide that, to the fullest extent that the laws of Pennsylvania, as in effect on January 27, 1987 or as thereafter amended, permit elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, no director of the corporation shall be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a director. The Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law provides that whenever the by-laws of a corporation by a vote of the shareholders so provide, a director shall not be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or failure to take any action, unless (i) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office under the standard of care and justifiable reliance specified in such Act and (ii) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. These provisions do not apply to (i) responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or (ii) the liability of a director for payment of taxes.

Under the Trust Agreements Mellon Financial Corporation will agree to indemnify each of the trustees or any predecessor trustees, and to hold the trustees harmless against any loss, damages, claims, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Trust Agreements, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties under the Trust Agreements.

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(A) Each prospectus filed by a Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of a Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of an undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of an undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of an undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by an undersigned Registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about an undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of any undersigned Registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by an undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of each Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of a Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, that Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
