I haven't thought about this much, but off the top of my head: we could
put a note in the release notes or in the installation manual, and/or
put something on the website, along the lines of "Debian is a volunteer
organization that relies on volunteer contributions for survival. You
can help!"
I believe this will be much more effective than sending a letter to a
company; that feels a bit more like begging to me, and might work
counterproductive.
Note that none of this requires personal involvement from the DPL,
however.
