That also depends on the scale of the monetary sponsorship, though. If I heard something like "Meta/Google/Whoever is the main sponsor of Python for the next 3 years", I'd assume (perhaps incorrectly) much more money per year than it takes to hire a single engineer. On the other hand, someone just saying "sure, we'll do the silver tier at your next few conferences" is worth a whole lot less than one engineer.
