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.

Autism a learning experience for everyone involved! Being a spectrum disorder creates the puzzling dilemma of best practices/treatments/therapies. You have decided to become part of the future's solution. Wonderful! PLEASE continue advocating for autism...we need who can speak up need to for those who are unable to. The needs are great...but so is your generation!

what a beautiful video-i wasn't sure what it was going to be from the beginning--very powerful message at the end. makes us realize how this mysterious puzzle needs to be solved and someday there needs to be a cure! i hope that one day we will read about autism in history books! i hope that our justin will be able to experience all that you have in your life! thanks for taking on such an interest--you are an inspiration to others--lauren in maryland

I thought your video was such an interesting dicotomy. What is for some and what will not be for some. My family lives that dicotomy. My daughter is a little actress. She does theatre and pageants-like you. Lots of friends, good student, tons of activites...Then there is her little brother with autism. He is quiet, to himself, often misunderstood. He struggles with simple tasks. My daughter is a major advocate for him. She will tell kids who come to our home, "if you don't say hi to my brother or if you aren't nice to my brother, I can't be your friend." She has fought to include him in her activities, even if he just ends up quietly ignoring the girls, while they play. He is lucky to have her as his sister! Anything you can do to help your generation learn about autism is absolutely vital. I knew no one and nothing about autism until my son was diagnosed at three. His dotor mentioned autism when he was 10 months old and I was completely in denial. I am praying they can figure out where this is coming from, to prevent the frustration and heartbreak so many of us are expiriencing. Great video-thank you!!!
