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.

Susan, Two of my grandsons live with autism. Their mom (my daughter), Amy Baker, is the Walk Chair for Utah's Inaugural Autism Speaks WALK NOW FOR AUTISM. It will be held Saturday, May 3, 2008 at Cottonwood High School. If you're not already involved: http://www.walknowforautism.org/utah Her team is: Our Boys, Our Purpose (just like the name of her video on this website, #264868--it's on the first page). Thankfully, it appears that you are getting lots of support. Utah is one of the top states for diagnosed cases of autism. One in 150 are national stats, Utah's is one in 133. Utah, let's help to make the changes research WILL one day bring!

God chooses us for certain reasons. I am a mother of a child with autism and epilepsy and I believe my child would not be where he is if it wasn't for my husband and me. I can see Charles wouldn't be where he is if it wasn't for wonderful people like you. Keep up the great work.

Very nicely done! Charles has come a long way and would not be where he is today without, above all else, the support of his Mom.

I am just a "kid" but one day I am going to do something great. I have seen how autism impacts people and I know how it makes them feel different but I think that autism is a part of who they are and without that things wouldn't be the same.

This was a wonderful blessing to watch how loving and kind some people are when life knocks them down. They land on their back so they can see up and then get up and keep on loving and giving and making a difference. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Thanks to all involved in this great movement of love and conpassion. Let us find a way to donate and realize that one person can make a difference.
