They probably get their logo on the python.org website somewhere, and $350k isn't a ton of money. p
The reason is PR. Still, good for the python foundation to have a program that allows it to harvest some of the PR budget out there.

- iudqnolq 6y agoI normally think overanalyzing where organizations spend their money is misguided, but I was surprised that the largest dollar amount on the infographic was spent "strengthening trademarks". Here's what I found under the details link. Does anyone understand what this actually means? > One major component of the PSF’s mission is protecting Python-related intellectual property. To strengthen the PSF’s trademarks and copyrights for Python, PyCon, and PyPI, the PSF spent over $198,000 USD in 2019 and $77,000 through October 2020.
