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 path to self-sustainability in 2029 — and where your investment fits.
Priced for families. Funds are split to sustain the entire network.
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.
| 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.
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.
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.
