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.

Excellently put: from the title, subtitles, timing and the song. It made Maddi's story more touching. Thank you for sharing and keeping autism awareness.

What a beautiful video! As an early interventionst and the parent of a child with an ASD, it moved me in so many ways. Thank you for sharing your story.

Beautiful.. As a speech pathologist who's worked with hundreds on the spectrum, I expected to recognize these feelings... but what you gave me was a priceless return to the experience I had as a child when my own sister withdrew into what I now know to be Asperger's Syndrome. Your family, your love, your daughters, allowed me to revisit being the young sister of a little girl I couldn't reach for a while there. I found my angel again, too. I can't thank you enough.

Jason, your message about Maddi is wonderful and powerful. I am a teacher consultant for students with ASD in Grosse Pointe Michigan. Early Intervention is the key to many students success. Thank you for sharing Maddi's story.

This video brought me to tears. My son has autism and we saw all the things you described in this video. Many children with autism are allegic to milk and gluten and other undetected allergies. Taking these out made a WORLD of difference for my son!! SENSORY ISSUES ARE GONE! He's 4 and back with us again! Good luck to you. Your girls are just beautiful!

I have tears in my eyes, what a wonderful video. I have two little girls (none with autism) and I see the landmarks you try to recognize with Maddie. I just had to comment on what a touching video that was.

Wonderful video. I wish Maddie continued progress. Chuck (the post before mine) The videos on this site have never been choppy for me, but did you try to go directly to the Revver website. Maybe you'd be able to view the videos better. Just type in keyword autism and find the videos that say by Autism speaks.
