'der Träger' and 'der Sponsor' can both provide money or support for something. However, 'der Träger' has fixed legal and financial responsibility, for example for a school, hospital, or association. 'Der Sponsor' is more likely to support a project, person, or event and often gets advertising in return. The words can be confused because both have to do with financing. The important difference is: a Sponsor helps or advertises, while a Träger is officially responsible.
