I believe that one of the ways in which pressure groups are funded is through the use of anonymous donors.

Wealthy donors who support the cause may be more than happy to donate to the cause.

An example could be FOREST, the pro-smoking group. It is argued that FOREST are financially supported by many tobacco companies.

Perhaps another way in which pressure groups are funded is through fundraisers, in the same way in which political parties raise money.
