Cameron,

OSGeo sponsorship does give the right to use the OSGeo Sponsor logo on
organizational web sites, and other materials.

   http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship

More generally, OSGeo sponsorship is "sold" in substantial part as a
promotional thing.  The assumption that organizations sponsoring OSGeo
should get some recognition and marketting benefit from their support
for such an important and worthwhile organization.

The other aspect is that organizations dependent on the FOSS4G ecosystem
are helping themselves by keeping the general ecosystem healthy and
growing which can be accomplished through OSGeo.  But this is, at least,
a harder point to convey effectively.

Best regards,
