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.

It is so great to see someone care so much about autism and do something about it. I know that my autistic 5 year old daughter Michelle and I appreciate it. Thanks

After reviewing comments on another video, I found one that was from "the folks at what kind of world do you want.com" That instructed people to view the "ads" to earn money for the charity. This was never realy made clear on the site, so I urge everyone who watches this to click on the ad at the end. The beautiful little boy in this video is one of my students and the creator of this vidoe is my 17 year old son John (JJ) JJ created this to promote awareness and raise money for charity. He has no interest in "winning a contest" My concern is that if the ads are not clicked money will not be raised. I have emailed "five for fighting to get clarification of this. Hopefully they will respond
