The foundation's website[1] indicates principal funding interests reflect a concern for quality of life and environmental sustainability due to rapid population growth.

Grants have supported projects such as the planters throughout Downtown Pittsburgh,[2] recycling hard-to-dispose waste,[3] conservation of Sycamore Island in the Allegheny River,[4] matching funds to activate Pittsburgh’s downtown streets in the Paris to Pittsburgh Project,[5] water quality studies in the Monongahela River,[6] revolving loan fund enabling land trusts to rapidly consummate vital land conservancy projects,[7][8] Marcellus Environmental Fund to assess and address risks of shale drilling,[9][10] Mt. Washington land conservation,[11] Tribute to Children monument honoring Mister Rogers,[12][13][14] Kids Zone at the Three Rivers Regatta,[15] support for the G-20 in Pittsburgh,[16] completing a bridge for bicyclists on the Great Allegheny Passage near Pittsburgh,[17] curatorial salaries for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History,[18] and matching funds to renovate the fountain at historic Point State Park.[19]

Colcom Foundation has been a large donor to the anti-immigration cause, providing more than $76 million.[20]
