The type of interest group that seeks the betterment of society as a whole or aims to reform the political, social or economic system without focusing directly on their members' pocketbooks is often referred to as an "ideological" or "public interest" group.
These groups advocate for broader issues and societal changes that they believe will benefit the general public or advance certain ideological principles, regardless of direct financial implications for their members. Their primary focus is on social change, policy reform or addressing larger societal concerns rather than specific economic benefits for their members. Examples of such groups could include environmental organizations, civil rights advocacy groups or organizations promoting government transparency and accountability.
