Our
Story
Founded by the former Pictou Mutual Insurance Company to support local communities, Pictou Mutual Community Foundation began in 2009 to help provide support and assistance to the communities that helped make their business possible.
Thanks to the continuing support of our patrons, notably Kings Mutual Insurance Company, we are pleased to be entering our 15th year of operation!
