The Ethel Gray Benevolent Fund distributes the generosity of Epworth employees to directly help patients, their families, or colleagues at a time of need.

The fund can be used to support an inpatient or current employee of Epworth:

  • transport or accommodation for visiting family
  • provision of meals or personal needs on discharge
  • cost of Epworth outpatient programs
  • pro bono surgery
  • support a colleague facing significant personal or career challenges 

Epworth employees are invited to support the fund by making a gift via their payroll. Participation is completely voluntary and every contribution counts. You can register via the form on this page. 

Epworth VMO’s are invited to make an annual gift to the fund by contacting [email protected]
