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.

Darren, Such an inspiring way for you to get the word out. I will pass along to a friend who teaches in the special needs dept of a local CA school district and to all my contacts. We could all use a reminder. All Best, Laura Dees

This so moving and powerful. I wish you love & strength as you confront the challenges of autism. I will pass along to many others. There is a great deal of awareness work being done in my community, so it will be passed to many people.

This is a moving video; I know it's hard to put yourself out there and hope it influences people's perceptions. We have to fight for our kids because they can't do it for themselves.
Great job.

Darren and Kelly,
this is a wonderful video, as a therapist I have worked with Autistic Spectrum disorders in children, I have seen the difficulty parents have, the strength they must have in themselves and their marriage. Your children are beautiful. Let me know how to support this research.
Meg.

Thank you so much for this video. I am a Mother of three chidren struck down with autism. Five year old twin boys and a three year old little girl. As I have been fighting the system to get help for my children. I am screaming that this is not just my problem. For every child that dose not get the help to help them through autism, that is a child that will forever be a part of the system. Parent of typical children should be standing on the front line fighting with us; for it is there children that will be supporting our children in the future. That should scare them. I want my children to become productive tax paying individuals. But parents of autism can not fight this fight alone, we need help.
It is videos like this that might give us all a chance to help these amazing children. Your life will be forever changed when you meet a FAMILY with autism. If there is anything I can do to help this cause now or in the future please contact me. samrowdy@verizon.net

I believe in all scientific research as long as it is privately funded. I think that this vehicle is one of the best methods to use technology to accomplish this.
