The economics under the mission.
A movement that intends to become normal cannot live on philanthropy. Here is how the Christian Halls model funds itself — family-first pricing, a revenue engine that sustains every partner, and a conservative path to self-sustainability — and where your investment fits.
Priced for families. Split to sustain every partner.
Students pay a fraction of prevailing tuition and graduate debt-free, working locally as they study. Revenue divides at the source so that every part of the network is funded by the network’s own work — and no Hall ever pays a fee to belong.
| Program Level | $ / Credit Hour | Revenue Distribution |
|---|---|---|
| High School Dual Credit | $100 | Low-cost service layer — the on-ramp into the network |
| Associate’s Degree | $250 | 50% university · 25% local Hall · 25% backbone |
| Bachelor’s Degree | $350 | 50% university · 25% local Hall · 25% backbone |
| Graduate Degrees | $450 | 50% university · 25% local Hall · 25% backbone |
The university sustains its professors and academic standards; the Hall funds its tutors and community life; the backbone’s share funds the training, technology, and standards that hold the network together.
Self-sustaining in 2029 — on the numbers we publish.
These are the conservative figures — the only set this movement publishes. Donor capital bridges the backbone to its earned-revenue crossing; after 2029, growth capital funds expansion rather than operations.
| 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Halls in the network | 200 | 400 | 600 | 800 | 1,000 | 1,500 |
| Students | 736 | 2,288 | 4,500 | 7,072 | 10,818 | 21,588 |
| System revenue | $1.6M | $5.7M | $12.7M | $22.9M | $40.2M | $95.7M |
| Backbone net | −$0.7M | −$1.2M | −$0.4M | +$0.4M | +$3.1M | +$11.6M |
2026–2028: expansion funding sustains the backbone while enrollment ramps. 2029: earned revenue crosses core operating costs. 2030 onward: surplus funds field guides, regional expansion, and student scholarships. As the ecosystem’s support institutions mature, their royalties reduce donor dependence further — by design.
Invest in Christian Halls.
The $5M Expansion Fund
A lean, time-limited fund bridging the backbone organization to earned self-sustainability in 2029 — training directors and tutors, building the standards and technology, and opening new regions ahead of the revenue curve. Every dollar is designed to be the last generation of gift its function ever needs.
