For

Hello....

For best results, make it clear that you are not selfishly motivated, that you intend your contributions to help the group. For Clinton's work on the health care plan, it was clear that she was trying to contribute to the national good.

The “for” in the above means “as for”?

I am not sure how much more context might be needed, so I put in the link for the passage.
The context is in google books.
