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.

How heartwarming! It made my day! I can only imagine how it is to see this kind of loving interaction between dogs and kids in person.

I teach autistic children and for the last 3 years we had Manny and Jeter visit our kids. It is amazing how excited our boys get when they see them coming. Hats off for all the tail pulling they must sit quietly for. Heck there are times I want to bite them back......

My 3 year old nephew has autism and just loves our dog's tail (not the whole dog yet, just the tail). It's magic to see what North Star is doing.

Our 16 year old dog Bonz just left us the other day. I had heard of the therapy dogs and asked the Vet about programs in the area. This video came at the perfect time. Thank you!

What a wonderful example of how unconditional love can break through barriers. Maybe we can all learn a bit from our fuzzy canine friends, eh? Thanks for a beautiful video!

This is amazing! I've been trying to find info on a dog for my son. I posted the video titled Autism Acceptance on this site. Would you be able to email me some information as to how I can get approved for a dog? Or where I can apply? jodielgood@hotmail.com Thank you so much for adding a video! Jodie

What a beautiful song.

Applause to the North Star foundation for having a program like this. The words to the song are so appropriate. Words aren't needed between children and animals. They each have such unconditional love.
