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.

Very beautiful Steven. My son has ASD. Some people look at it as a "disability", but we look at it as a "challenge". Life is an obstacle course full of challenges for everyone, not just those affected by medical issues. Working together we are able face life's challenges, and celebrate the victories when we overcome the obstacles which stand in the way! Keep on keeping on, Steven!! Way 2 Go!

I thank-you for keeping my hope alive. It was wonderful to hear you speak. I have a beautiful 8 year old grandaughter who is PDDNOS, somwhere on the austims spectrum. She is trying so hard to talk, and does very well at getting her point across. She takes in so much, understands so much, it would just be so wonderful if she could communicate more. Her Mom has done an ausum job of loveing, taking care of, and finding the right schools for her. God Blessed of with our gift of our Annie Angel. We love her dearly, and pray some day she will be able to speak and take care of herself. Keep up the good work with this sight. It is wonderful.

My ten year old nephew is slightly autistic. He amazes me daily! An avid video gamer and artist he dazzles everyone with his ability to create. This is such a great thing. Austistic children are wonderful blessings and brilliant people...if only we had the keys to understanding them. Sometimes I think my nephew has this crazy world figured out a whole lot better than I do.

My grandson is two years old. He doesn't talk. He is in the beginning stages of evaluations. At this point, Autism is the explanation offered for the characteristics he displays. I am so thankful to Steven for giving us this hopeful insight into his world.

Wonderful content brilliantly produced. My sense of identity with Steven was brought home when I realized that he and I share the same surname. But even if we didn't, we are still part of the same family.

It's nice to see a little humanity in a world that sometimes seems inhumane.
