✔ 最佳答案
是否需要用preposition, 或者用咩preposition, 係取決於:
動詞本身
你的句子想表達甚麼意思 (有機會因情況而異)
「為某些人的利益著想」 當中的「為」字就正是"for".

實例: 12 things to consider for your first job (i.e. You have to consider these things for your first job)

"to" 和"for"的確有意思或用法相近的地方, 兩者都有「前往某地方/ 向某地點進發」的意思 e.g. She usually goes to school by bus. After his retirement, he headed for England. 而"to"和"for"後面都可以係「某些對象/人/物」等object.

但是, 就你的例子 (你為他人的利益著想), 你跟對方可能根本完全無見過面, 無接觸, 或者係未必有一件實物交與對方, 所以沒有指 "to" (前往) 的意思, 而係偏向「為著某個對象/ 目標做事」(for) 的意思較多.

「無見過面, 無接觸」 的情況可以係:
例如, 那些人係寄信, send email, 經第三者(可以係議員/ 代表)提出要求(意見)等等.
