Following in the footsteps of Sunshine, NPOs are creating "sidelines" right and left that provide job opportunities or raise funds. Examples include the Syin-Lu Social Welfare Foundation's laundries, the Eden Social Welfare Foundation's massage centers (staffed by blind masseurs / masseuses), and the Children Are Us Foundation's bakeries. But the majority have yet to become self-supporting, and continue to rely primarily on outside resources.
而繼陽光基金會之後，心路基金會成立洗衣坊、伊甸基金會成立視障按摩中心、喜憨兒基金會創設烘焙坊……，非營利組織為了籌措財源或提供就業機會，紛紛兼營「副業」，但多數仍無法自給自足，必須仰賴政府的資源和民間捐款。
