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.

I received a link to this amazing video from a fellow parent at the Autism Resource Center of Central MA.
I was not really sure what to expect but what I have seen has brought me to tears - happy tears that is. Autism is a tough thing for most parents but to see these children dreaming, hoping and wishing while at the same time helping those who are not as fortunate is a testament to their character as well as their upbringing so kudos to all who were involved in this selfless project and to the parents who have instilled a good sense of values in their children.
Thanks for this holiday gift at the perfect time of year. May all you have wished for in this video come to be.
All my best and thanks for the dose of positivity, you can never have too much of that

As a parent of 1 of the students in Mrs. Travers' LA classes, I am so completely impressed by the incredible job these students have done in creating this project! As I watched the video, I was moved by the words and images that filled the screen. These students are our future...and what a wonderful world we will have when these hopes become a reality.
Thank you to Mrs. Sherri Travers and to all the students who participated in this project!

Mrs. Travers, and those children who put together such a moving and inspiring video are an example of what our teachers can do for our children and what our children can do for us. I am proud to be a resident in the town of Northbridge, and the parent of children who have been be inspired by teachers like Mrs. Travers. Also, as a person who has worked with children who are affected by Autism, thank you for supporting a cause that needs the support and understanding of many. Thank you. Mrs. Maguire

Dear Ms. Travers and class,
As a former teacher of many of the current sixth grade class at NMS and graduate of NHS, I cannot express the pride I feel after watching this video. This was a truly moving experience and I am so impressed with all of you. May we be blessed with a world that meets all your aspirations. You are the generation with the knowledge, power and heart to make this possible. Thank you all.
Mr. Vincent

I am so proud my children are a school system that teaches so much more than reading, writing and arithmetic.
