The G.A.G. Foundation - Free Steam Games
Since November 14, 2008
This organization was founded hoping that VALVe will allow us to collect donations to buy games for those less fortunate -- or more fortunate, it doesn't really matter. All that does matter, is that people can get games that they don't already have, and VALVe doesn't lose any money, because the games are paid for by the members of this group.
What we do, is we ask for donations from everybody in the group. The donated money will be deposited into a PayPal account (or VALVe can hold the money, which would be totally awesome). Once we've collected enough money, we will message various members of the group (those who have donated have priority over those who haven't, in most cases), and ask them which game they want. We then buy each game, and send them as a gift to the selected members that requested them. Then, the process repeats, as long as we have enough money.
Ways to get priority over other members in recieving games:
1) Donating to the group
2) Send a game to a group member as a gift
3) If you can't do either of those, join as soon as possible, because older members that haven't donated will always have priority over newer members that haven't donated.
4) Help spread the word! Invite your friends, have them invite their friends, advertise us on your server, have your friends advertise us on their server! GET THE WORD OUT THERE! Anybody who helps -- donators and non-donators alike -- will ALWAYS have priority over others of their status.
We are ALWAYS looking for new members, but don't join this group hoping to get free games, if you aren't going to contribute anything.
Thanks, and be sure to join, and invite your friends! More members, more donations. More donations, more gifts. More gifts, more recognition. More recognition, more members. And the cycle repeats itself forever and ever, untill every last person in the Steam community has joined this group. And once that has happened, we will probably have enough incoming donations to buy every member in the group almost every game they want on Steam (provided they've contributed something to the group).

*There are a few exceptions to the "No-Game Packages" rule: if it costs less than/around $50, you can get it. But if it's the $99 VALVe Complete Pack, then no-can-do, bub.
