The scale of opportunity is significant: the Catholic Church alone owns over 1.5 million acres of land in the U.S., alongside thousands of schools, colleges, and parishes. Similar holdings exist among Protestant, Jewish, and other faith institutions, creating an estimated $10 billion – $15 billion market.
