Open ChapterFoundation

A Georgia nonprofit

Every pet deserves another chapter.

When the cost of veterinary care becomes a barrier, we're working to help Georgia families and rescues give their pets the care they deserve—and the chance for another chapter.

How a grant works

From a vet bill to a chance at care

Once our grant program opens, here's how it will work. We won't take in animals; we'll pay for their care.

1. Apply

Family or rescue

Will apply with the vet's written estimate.

2. Review

Open Chapter

Will confirm the plan and cost with the vet.

3. Pay

Veterinary clinic

Will be paid directly by us.

Our promise

Compassion with accountability

Paid to the vet

Grants will go to clinics, never to individuals.

Necessary care

We'll fund treatment a vet recommends.

Run lean

Built so more of every gift can reach animals.

Every grant tracked

We'll report outcomes every year.

Our beginnings

Our story is just beginning

Open Chapter Foundation was founded in 2026 by Nachi Gadre and Samruddhi Talewar as they began their marriage, from a shared commitment to giving back.

In 2015, Nachi adopted Bruce in Atlanta and supported him through two ACL surgeries. That experience is why our first focus is access to necessary veterinary care in Georgia.

Instead of traditional wedding gifts, Nachi and Samruddhi invited charitable contributions to help seed a foundation dedicated to second chances, opportunity, and removing barriers.

What began as the celebration of our own new chapter became an opportunity to help create new chapters for others.
