The Creswick Foundation, based in Victoria, Australia, directs its philanthropic resources toward a precise field: the emotional, social, and psychological conditions of children. Its fellowship program is not a general arts grant but a targeted instrument for practitioners and researchers whose work engages this terrain. The foundation’s mandate is to deepen understanding and improve outcomes through investigation, travel, and the dissemination of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on models of care and service approaches that are not yet established in Australia. Fellowships are awarded annually, with grants ranging from $10,000 to $40,000. The funds may be used for several distinct purposes: overseas travel of up to three months to examine innovative models of care and service approaches not currently developed in Australia; bringing an international expert to Australia to share knowledge and build local capability; or travel within Australia to examine innovative models of care and service approaches. The foundation also supports other activities that advance investigation, research, or dissemination of knowledge in Australia. This is a fellowship for those whose work is grounded in practice, research, or policy, and who can articulate a clear plan for how the award will translate into new knowledge or capability. The curatorial vision is one of applied inquiry and cross-pollination. The foundation seeks to import and adapt ideas that can meaningfully shift how children’s emotional, social, and psychological needs are understood and addressed in Australia. It favors proposals that are specific, feasible, and demonstrably connected to the foundation’s mission. While the program is open to all disciplines, the strongest applications will come from those whose work directly intersects with child development, mental health, social welfare, education, or related fields, and who can make a compelling case for why their proposed activity is necessary and timely.
