If you are a fan of the Fallout series, you may have heard of Fallout for Hope (or Fallout 4 Hope), a charity initiative that brings together gamers, streamers, content creators, and developers to raise money for different causes. If you have not heard about Fallout 4 Hope, you’re about to learn about this amazing gamer-led project and how you can get involved.

What is Fallout for Hope?

Fallout 4 Hope was born in 2020 when the Fallout community decided to help individuals who were struggling with tragedy and hardship. They realized that if they could help one person, they could also help many others by mobilizing their global network of Fallout enthusiasts. Since then, Fallout 4 Hope has partnered with various charitable organizations, such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, American Heart Association, and Make a Wish Foundation, to support research, treatment, and prevention of life-threatening diseases, as well as environmental and social causes.

How much money has Fallout 4 Hope raised?

Fallout 4 Hope has raised over $200,000 since 2020, thanks to the generosity and passion of the Fallout community. In 2021 alone, they raised over $100,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which provides free care for children with cancer and other serious illnesses. They also planted over 10,000 trees in inner cities to improve air quality and health conditions for impoverished communities.

In 2023, Fallout 4 Hope had its fourth annual fundraising campaign for St. Jude, which is a leading hospital that treats and researches childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. St. Jude provides free care to children from all over the world, regardless of their ability to pay. St. Jude also shares its discoveries and protocols with other hospitals and doctors, saving thousands of lives beyond its walls.

The fundraising campaign ran from November 14th to December 30th, 2023, coinciding with the anniversary of the release of Fallout 4, one of the most popular games in the series. Hundreds of streamers on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook participated in the campaign, playing Fallout games and encouraging their viewers to donate to St. Jude through Tiltify.

The campaign was a huge success, raising a total of $83,774 for St. Jude. This amount surpassed the previous year's record of $65,000 and exceeded the original goal of $75,000. The donations came from more than 2,000 generous donors who supported the streamers and the cause.

Who started Fallout 4 Hope?

He is also an events consultant who brings years of experience in convention management and event planning to the team.
