The Koshland Innovation Fund is a sub-fund of the Australian Communities Foundation, established by Ellen Koshland. Its goal is to raise the profile of learning in the national consciousness and support systemic change by injecting new and challenging ideas into public debate.

In 1989, Ellen established the Education Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that sought to stimulate new thinking about public education in Australia and fund innovative student projects in public schools. Forming an alliance with the Foundation for Young Australians in 2008, the partnership was the result of a bold aspiration shared by the two foundations, who continue to work as the pre-eminent advocates for young people in Australia.

Along with her role as President of the Education Foundation, Ellen Koshland has served as the Victorian Co-Chairperson of Anti-Poverty Week in 2007, an Education Ambassador for the Melbourne Community Foundation and a Director of The Foundation for Young Australians.
