How This Works
For all donations, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com will distribute approximately 90% of money donated to the selected charities. This is determined primarily by the amount of views per charity and available funds. The 10% expense includes Revver.com's .01/view webhosting cost, California Community Foundation's 1.25% administrative expense and site maintenance. Contributions to the California Community Foundation represent irrevocable gifts subject to the legal and fiduciary control of the foundation's Board of Directors.
For videos which have received 30,000 or more views, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com may elect to add a click through advertisement at the end of such videos to defray web hosting expenses. As our objective is to donate the most funds possible to our charities, this will eliminate substantial expenses incurred by revver's .01 per view charge on videos with millions of views.
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com is the property of John Ondrasik and is administrated by John and the Five For Fighting management team.
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com has no paid staff or personnel.

Dear John,
I'm on my second motherhood (raising a 6yr. grandson). He loves your music! Each morning he is wakened by "World". And the day begins well.
Today, I had a little miracle: For Christmas I asked for a new frying pan & Two Lights. I got my cd and it's been lost since Jan. After forwarding your launched e-mail to everyone I know, I walked over to my neighbors' to request 1 hour break from his drums(migrane). Sure he said, then handed me my cd.
Just thought you'd like to know the joy I felt lessoned the guilt I had about stopping his music for an hour.
Music is magic;may it live on forever.

I live in a relatively good neighborhood, and we have a great music program at our school. we have four bands, 2 choirs and an orchestra, along with many other smaller chamber groups. Recently however, our band director, has decided to attempt to collect gently used music-related items to donate to the Chicago School district. i think this is a great cause.
