The Make a Difference Network is not just another celebrity-driven social networking play.
Actress Jessica Biel and her father, Jon Biel, are collaborating on the Make The Difference Network (MTDN). 
The site just launched in beta and already includes other high-profile celebs such as Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Karolina Kurkova, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Gabrielle Union.
Biel was inspired to start the venture after spending time with a fan who had muscular dystrophy and has since passed away. “Once you begin your journey into MTDN,” Biel writes on the welcome page, “I hope you are touched, as I have been, by the stories you find here. If you are, please join our community and together we will make a difference!” The MTDN mission is “to democratize giving by increasing the visibility of thousands of nonprofit organizations and empowering potential donors to search, select and fund these organizations’ specific ‘Wishes’ and then to see the results of their giving.”
Below is a shot of the MTDN celebrity page:
