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.

Great video. I saw Jenny MaCathey on Oprah and let me tell you she opened my eyes to see what happens in your family's daily life. I now pray for 3 things every night 1- that my family stay healthy, 2- I wish for this war to end 3- That they find a cure for autism real quick. I will take 1 hour out of my day to watch as many video as I can to raise money for you all.

Thank you for your video. I have worked with kids like Jonathan in a 1:1 ABA program for about 7 yrs. The world needs more of education about these kids who are largely misunderstood.

Thank you so much for what you are doing. My son has Autism. It does take tons of patience and understanding. Like alot of other comments watching the video was like watching our own day to day struggles. My Son has come such a long way in the last couple years and i know the more "WE" know about Autism the more we can help them.
Thanks from the bottom of my HEart.
God Bless you

Fabulous video,will make a lot of sense to those who have children with autism,wherever they lie on the scale.My son kristian has Aspergers syndrome,which when he was younger,made his life very difficult,and even now as a teenager he has a lot of trouble with interaction,but as with many things in life he is learning to deal with what does not come naturally,and is in general a fine young man whom i love dearly,as with all my children,I guess all i am tryng to say is dont be downhearted because they are no less aperson for who they are,and the more people that find out about autism,the better for the world in general,and just as apostscript,the song to the video,though not named is bang on God bless
