一般对人用to，对事物用for。
for sb. to do另当别论。

****我第一次的回复不是很全面，又在网上搜索了一番。
下面帖子的简要意思，to表示方向性，指对某人而言；for表示目的性，讲的是需求和利益。
抛砖引玉……

When you say "my family is important to me," you are saying that you hold your family close to your heart -- that they hold an important place in your life.
But if you say "my family is important for me," you are implying that you somehow benefit from your family or your family connections.

The simple explanation is that "important to" is something you value,
while "important for" is something you need, or that will help you in some way.
