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.

your son makes me think of my own. Corey is 8 now and doing really so much better. I thank God everyday that he recieved Early Intervention services. Your son is blessed to have you in his corner. What a great family you have.

What a beautiful video. My best friends son has autism and I have seen what early intervention can do. Thank you for helping to make people aware.

Devan is our great-grandson ... and this is this first we've heard of his condition. Ironically, on this same date we learned that another great-grandson, Jacob Fesili,is benefitting from early intervention. We pray for strength for the whole family and blessings on those researching this thief of our children's precious days.
