The Fanatical Change Foundation is an American charity based in Houston, Texas. It was founded by businessman Steven Kaufman and Juan Cuevas in 2008 in response to Hurricane Ike. It was designed to allow donators to see who was receiving the donations, and collects donations by throwing lavish parties, where attendees can buy tickets and see videos of the families to whom they are donating. As of October 1, 2014, the Foundation has raised over $600,000 for 77 families, and has been sponsored and recognized for its philanthropic efforts. Kaufman also received recognition for creating it, receiving an award from the Houston Astros called the "Hometown Hero." Juan Cuevas was awarded 2015 Houston Humanitarian of the Year in 2015 by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation for his work with Fanatical Change.
