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.

The effectiveness of interest groups often depends on their resources, organization, and the specific political context. Well-funded groups with strong membership bases, such as labor unions and large corporations, tend to exert significant influence. Additionally, groups that engage in strategic lobbying, grassroots mobilization, and coalition-building can effectively advocate for their causes. Ultimately, the effectiveness of an interest group also hinges on its ability to align its goals with public sentiment and political priorities.
Any organization that supports "saving peace(ful)" subjects. From trees to flowers, but usually cute things.
Interest groups play a significant role in the political process by representing diverse perspectives and advocating for specific issues, which can enhance democratic participation and inform policymakers. However, they can also lead to the disproportionate influence of well-funded groups, potentially overshadowing the voices of less organized or financially backed interests. Additionally, some interest groups may promote narrow agendas that do not reflect the broader public interest, resulting in polarization and conflict. Balancing these dynamics is crucial for a healthy democratic system.
The targets of interest groups are the groups of people that can most support the cause. Wealthy people are the targets of medical interest groups for example.
Interest groups can sometimes are called pressure groups. Interest groups will also be called organizations or associations for special interests.
