Some statements from Brazil indicate that they have to be family friendly and play it safe already due to laws of the country, so even without sponsorship they already are under a lot of pressure to gloss over subversive element by their government.
With the two items referred to for sponsorship: Monster Energy Drinks in FWA 2010 and Will it Blend for FurAffinity United is that the relationships didn't last long or become 'a thing'.
Converse got them their AV equipment. Great. Just remember to be the one exploiting them and not the other way around. If we're going to be working with major corporations, we should be like that gold digging wife. As soon as they stop puttin' out and demand things from us in return for that cash, toss them for the next one.
If corporations are exploitative, we should be just as cold and exploitative in return.
And should the extra-fandom corporations come to the realization that we will suck the life outta their investments, then we can switch to an intra-fandom sponsorship model where our bigger organizations sponsor our others. I mean we already do this via ads in the convention books, but I think the fandom could always go bigger on that front.
