What the diference of this two prepositions(to and for) in this question: She had shown leadership and proved that when you contribute to the sucess of your team, you also contribute to your own sucess. Could I use contribute for rather than "to"? or Maybe "with?

The only one that works in your example is "to." "Contribute for" isn't very common, but you could say: "...contribute to (something) for the purpose of (something else)..." But it would be less wordy and much more natural to use the infinitive of purpose: "...contribute to (something) to (base verb)..." In this construction, the second "to" isn't a preposition, but rather a particle of the infinitive verb. "Contribute with" isn't a common collocation because when "contribute" has a direct object, you don't need a preposition. The bottom line is that you should strive to imitate the verb and preposition collocations that you see and hear natives use rather than trying to come up with new ones on your own.

The prepositions need to be the same: “to this and to that”. “I’m making contributions for the hungry elephants and also for the lonely giraffes.” “I’m contributing with happy thoughts and also with prayers.”

I'm not sure about the rules of why you can not use the "for" or "with" but "to" sounds the best. To as in towards your success, as opposed to "with" would imply there are multiple forces at play. My work "with" Robson was successful today. espero que ajude
