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.

This was a very special video. Thank you for sharing your life and family with others. Society needs to see more of these segments of life to have appreciation for what we have and what we don't have, and what we all need...Love.

How very special my day has become by watching your video. Phillip has a wonderful Mom who has taken the time to create and make small things that mean big things to Phillip. She is a wonderful human being, with a soul and heart bigger than the universe. Phillip seems like such an extra-ordinary person, sweet, highly sensitive & like a very rare treasure. Thank you for letting me visit with your family. My heart and world have been truly touched. I will share this with my boys when I get home and also my sister...her eldest son has a form of autism, undiagnosed. How wonderful the world can be when we are touched by these videos and comments. Thank you, for completing my day.

I appreciated that you addressed the lashing out at the younger sister - my son does that too and sometimes I am torn between them as I want to understand why he does the things he does, but I am angry too because he seriously hurts her sometimes. My son is 8 and my daughter is 3. The music was beautiful

That was beautiful. My son has Autism and sometimes it helps to know that others REALLY know what we go through as Mothers of Autistic children..
