Horizons is pleased to announce the launch of Giving Intelligence -- a video series offering helpful advice from the Horizons team of generosity experts. Leading off is Horizons' Founder, Clif Christopher, author of several books on giving including, Not Your Parents' Offering Plate and his most recent, God vs. Money.
