altruistically
For others' benefit
In a way that prioritizes others' welfare over one's own interests.
Someone who acts altruistically gives without expecting reward: She altruistically donated her kidney to a stranger.
The word often carries a note of admiration, though it can imply naivety about self-interest: He altruistically took the blame for the team's failure.
