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.

Thank you for sharing your story; a story shared by so many and yet the funding for research and assistance for families is appalling. Here in Canada it is just as frustrating...talk to any family with a child struggling with this and you will get an earful, & justifiably so.

Hi , Your boys are beautiful. My son has autism also. It is hard waking up everyday and having this on your mind. I have sent this site to over 100 people now I hope the message gets out there. I am working on more e-mails today.

It is so important that people beyond the "autism community" watch videos like this one. Videos that will give everyone an understanding of how autism personally touches lives. Thank you for sharing. Your children are beautiful and you are in my prayers.
