It's not easy for corporations to give money away; this is why there are often foundations started to handle charitable giving "associated" with a corporation. As a non-profit, it is much easier for The Linux Foundation to give away money.
If OpenBSD (really, Theo de Raadt, the way things are currently structured) could offer a product for sale (e.g. a service contract or something similar), then it would likely be much easier to get money from e.g. Microsoft. Corporations pay for software and services, they do not give money away. Money goes to invoice-senders.
