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 at Jim Grant Management.
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com has no paid staff or personnel.

What a moving video! Teachers certainly do need to know more about autism and what we can do to help make these special children flourish in a classroom. Keep spreading the word!!!

Our daughter is going to be a special educator and lives for the days she can make a difference in the lives of the Tommys of the world. Your video was truly inspirational and gave us goosebumps. Thanks so much!

I am a special education teacher and I love that you show how all children want and need the same things. All of my kids are beautiful and smart, and they teach us more than we could ever know.
Keep up the hard work to be seen and heard. We are working with you!

I am a preschool special teacher. I love every one of my children and their special needs that they have. I learn everyday from my students and they are truely special. I do have to say that as I become a more experienced teacher, the public school system has to change with the times, and stop teaching for tests and cookie cutter children that all learn the same way.
