The Fortnite fundraiser for the war in Ukraine is a big success. $70 million has already been donated, and the campaign is still ongoing.
- The Fortnite community has already raised $70 million for Ukraine;
- The money comes from player purchases and will be donated to charities;
- The collection will last until April 3.
Starting March 20 a huge fundraiser is taking place in Fortnite. Proceeds from player purchases are going to charity with the intention of helping victims of the war in Ukraine.
Thanks to the official announcement from the team working on the game we already know how much money has been raised so far.
Millions for Ukraine
During the first five days of the campaign, $70 million was raised. This amount was donated to organizations providing humanitarian aid to people affected by the conflict in Ukraine.
What is important, Epic Games does not wait with donating money until the moment when the funds are credited to the account. The company is sending the amounts immediately, before the individual transfers even arrive.
Thanks to this collected funds land on the accounts of aid organizations much faster. These organizations can then use them for all necessities which will go to the victims.
Every purchase counts
The action will last until April 3. It is worth mentioning that you can support it by any in-game purchase using real money. This also applies to the Xbox version of the game.
It doesn't matter whether you buy cosmetic items, V-bucks or battle passes. All the money you spend will go to charities, which will make good use of them in the war-torn country.
So if you have been planning to buy your dream skin for a long time, this is the perfect time to do it.
