They might sponsor an explorer for several reasons - and usually did so for a combination of several of these reasons:
- Even if the explorer was not from their country, they could still make claims on discoveries as an agent for the sponsor
- The explorer might possess unique or superior characteristics, skills, and/or knowledge not found among the citizens of the sponsoring country
- The exploration might give the sponsoring country an advantage of being the first to establish a trade route to the explored region
- The exploration might provide a source of valuable resources - or plunder - to the sponsoring country
- The sponsoring country might accrue increased reputation by being the sponsor of an exploration that made some significant discovery
- The sponsoring country might believe they would accrue some spiritual credit with a higher power by using the exploration to spread their religion
