谢邀!
I will answer this by using examples to explain the differences between the meanings of sentences that use these phrases.
Important to
A is important to B.
B is a person or living being that values A.
Important for
C is important for D.
C is something that D really needs or is greatly affected by not having, but D is rarely a living being. D is usually an event or action.
I hope this helps.
