good cause
Benevolent charitable purpose
Good cause is a legally or institutionally sufficient reason for taking an action that might otherwise be prohibited or questioned.
Courts require good cause to grant certain motions; employers may need good cause to terminate workers under some contracts: The judge found good cause to delay the trial.
Outside legal contexts, good cause simply means a worthy purpose, especially charitable: Please donate to a good cause.
