About the Big Brain Club

The Big Brain Club and its sponsoring organization, The Big Brain Foundation, were founded by author Dom Testa to help young people overcome the peer pressure to dumb down. Smart is cool! We're also passionate about helping kids develop their own creative abilities. We host this nationwide online community, publish first-time authors through an innovative in-school partnership program, and provide necessary resources directly to students and classrooms.


The Big Brain Foundation is a tax exempt Colorado corporation recognized under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, and is governed by an independent board of directors.
