What do you think about charitable games?
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't know some games donated permanently X% of their earnings to charity, this is awesome!

Done!
Think it's a great idea and hopefully valve will add it in the future! :)

I added the tag "Charity" to all the games you linked, but the link for "Robocraft - AbleGamers Charity Bundle" redirects you to the main page of Steam Store.

You forgot to add Castle Crashers DLC

Not sure about this one http://store.steampowered.com/app/204372/

I have no idea whether it really is banned or not. But if I were to speculate why, then I suppose they could be concerned that the label might imply some level of accountability on their part that they don't want to accept.
No idea what (or if) due diligence goes into confirming the existing charity claims already, but the increased visibility and grouping with prominent tags could be taken by some people as endorsing or confirming those activities as legitimate on Steam's credibility in lieu of customers doing their own fact-checking first.
(And contrasting it with the tags you mentioned, they don't face those problems from say the The Illuminati, whom actually encourage fraudulent labeling to help obscure any trails to their sinister agenda--making videogame cutscenes unskippable)

I agree, but it's the same with providing awesome screenshots and then disappointing the player in-game. That's one of the reasons I created a group: we can discuss, come up with new sources etc. We're simply guiding, and if we notice something wrong, we'll say that too.
For example; one game said "we give some proceeds to charity" and I contacted the developer asking how much and which charity. Turns out it's 1% of a game of €4.99. That would be 5 cents if we don't calculate the Steam fee...
If something is not clear, it's clearly mentioned in the list and the curator page. We'll recommend the games we are certain about, but ask others to keep an eye out for doubtful cases.

According to http://store.steampowered.com/tag/ and http://www.gamegrin.com/news/steam-introduces-custom-tags/, tags that aren't showing up are just not pre-made tags. I don't think mods would ban all those keywords, they simply don't exist for now.
So if enough people use the tag, it should be integrated sooner or later.

It seems like any new tag has to be requested, perhaps in this forum, them adeed to the whitelist before it can be applied. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/2/35220315916026404/

Are there any charity tag already ?
Getting the id of it would help for multinational translations. (+ searching games by internationalized tag)

For example use http://store.steampowered.com/search/?tags=492
You can get other tag ids by selecting any other tag.

It'll only take 2 minutes! And please leave a bump.
As you may know you can add your own tags on store pages, and if enough people write the same tag for a game, it will be added. Now, I hereby ask everyone to add the Charity tag to all games from the list of "charity games" on Steam! It's usefull for all users and will only take about 2 minutes. Only those we are certain about are listed.
If you're new to that: here's a easy guide on how to this quickly http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=834298127
Tip: use Ctrl+Click to open the first, add the "Charity" tag, and Ctrl+click all the others. Then, you can just click on the charity tag instead of typing it again :)

DLCs
A genuine thanks to everyone who did this!
Who is the "us" in the title? The Steam group Charity Games! We share games that donate to charity, like this post here. Feel free to take a look if you are interested.
