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.

We are already having a wonderful experience with our North Star puppy through visiting her foster family--our son is already growing and responding to this amazing pup! It is an amazing program!

We are learning that animals are truly an integral part of our human world. Lucky dogs, too, who get all that wonderful attention. Thank you. ATO

What a wonderful video. You have such insight. I have a neighbor who has 2 autistic boys. I will be sharing this with her.

Patty and Danny-great video. Stitch is such a part of the family-its hard to remember what it was like before we got him. Sending hugs to the new puppies!

Thanks for the awesome video...very touching! My daughter and I are attending dog-training classes with her Brittany who will eventually become a therapy dog. You've encouraged us that we're on the right track. Blessings...Brian and Hannah

Good job. Very moving and tender. I didn't know that North star existed so I am appreciative of your video and that you are getting the word out. My nephew who is 5 y.o. and is affected by Down's also has some autistic features. I can say that my parents' Golden Lab and Jack interact in such a special way. They are
buddies and share a special connection. I can see why North Star works!

I think your program is wonderful. My question is how would you go about giving a dog to one of these children. We have a dog that is really wonderful with children and we are looking for a good home for her. I hope and pray you have a child who would love this dog.

This looks like a great program. I can't wait to check out the website! I have 2 autistic grandsons who would have a lot of fun with a well trained dog.
