Unless something has drastically changed, PyCon covers itself and earns the PSF quite some money on top. Here are numbers from 2020:

> Out of USD4.5MM of revenue for the PSF in 2019, around 63% of it came from PyCon. USD1.9MM was the costs of having PyCon, which means that for every dollar spent on PyCon, the PSF gets back 1.50 dollars.

Obviously, the revenue has sharply dropped for a time because of COVID, but I'd be surprised if PyCon is run at a loss nowadays.

So you can assume none of your sponsorship money goes to running PyCon.
