We’re excited to announce our new Listen For Cause giving back effort as part of our Parent Busters Podcast!
What Is Listen For Cause?
Listen For Cause is something we created as a way to give back when you support our podcast!
We regularly choose a charity or organization doing something good (our choice!) and give 20% of what we make* to that charity to continue their amazing work! And, the best part? You can give whatever you want to support our podcast (and even make it a monthly recurring support donation, if you want!).
Feel free to share this link with others and be sure to tag us with #listenforcause!
*Donations may appear as MY POINT MEDIA on your statement, which is just the name of our company!
PREVIOUS LISTEN FOR CAUSE CHARITY
December 2022 MORE THAN WORDS
In December 2022 we were excited to also support More Than Words, where “every dollar goes back into our program to empower youth to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business.”
From their site:
“More Than Words is a nonprofit social enterprise that empowers young adults who are in the foster care system, court-involved, homeless, or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business.”
What we love about More Than Words:
- Supports an often forgotten section of children
- Empowers young people to take care of themselves
- They have super cool merch! (GRAB SOME!)
December 2022 Shelby County Animal Shelter
In December 2022 we sent a much-needed supply shipment to Shelby County Animal Shelter totaling $112.84 (pet food, paper towels, wipes, etc.).
What we love about the Shelby County Animal Shelter:
- It’s a small-town shelter with a big heart for animals
- The people there TRULY care about helping animals
- We fell in love with them when we started following Justice’s story [READ ABOUT JUSTICE HERE]

LISTEN FOR CAUSE FAQs
Why does the donation form say My Point Media?
My Point Media is our company. In PayPal, it only allows you to show the company name that the account is set up under, but those funds are filtered to our Parent Busters site. *Donations may appear as MY POINT MEDIA on your statement, which is just the name of our company!
How can I trust that 20% of my donation is really going to a cause?
We’ll post donation totals and pictures / screenshots / etc. We’ll be transparent in our giving. If all else fails, you can ask the organization after we posted about delivering the donation! 🙂
What does 20% after fees mean?
PayPal (and any other online payment system) charges a small fee to use their platform. After we take out any required fees, we’ll use 20% of the remaining amount for our donations.
Why don’t you just donate everything?
That’s a great question and something we seriously considered. However, running this podcast (and site) is a business for us. Part of doing this is teaching Ella how to run a business at a young age, including covering expenses (in this case, website hosting fees, podcast hosting fees –which is a separate platform, email service provider fees AND MUCH more). We’ll use your support to help us cover those so we can continue offering free content AND also help others while doing it, too!
Can we suggest an organization or charity to support?
We have a pretty good list of orgs/charities we want to support, but we’re also open to hearing orgs you love who are doing great things. Check out ways to connect with us on our CONTACT PAGE.
Other questions? Feel free to reach out!
