Pro Bono Publico is also used in the United Kingdom to describe the central motivation of large organizations such as the National Health Service, and various NGOs, which exist "for the public good", rather than for shareholder profit but it equally or even more applies to the private sector where professionals like lawyers, bankers offer their specialist skills for the benefit of community or NGOs.
