Hi @Gramps,

Good question! I checked the GitHub Sponsors documentation, and there are a few related options, depending on what you're trying to achieve.

1. Retire a sponsorship tier

• Go to your profile → Your sponsors → Dashboard.
• Open Sponsor tiers.
• Select Edit next to the tier.
• Click Retire tier and confirm.

This prevents new sponsors from choosing that tier, but existing sponsors remain on it until they change or cancel their sponsorship.

2. Unpublish your Sponsors profile

If you have no active sponsors, you can go to Dashboard → Settings → Unpublish your GitHub Sponsors profile.

If you already have sponsors, you'll need to contact GitHub Support.

3. Disable GitHub Sponsors

If you want to leave the program entirely, you can disable your account. If you're currently receiving sponsorship payments, GitHub Support must assist with this.

Documentation:

• [Managing sponsorship tiers](https://docs.github.com/en/sponsors/receiving-sponsorships-through-github-sponsors/managing-your-sponsorship-tiers)
• [Unpublishing your Sponsors profile](https://docs.github.com/en/sponsors/receiving-sponsorships-through-github-sponsors/unpublishing-your-github-sponsors-profile)
• [Disabling your Sponsors account](https://docs.github.com/en/sponsors/receiving-sponsorships-through-github-sponsors/disabling-your-github-sponsors-account)

However, I couldn't find a documented option that allows maintainers to individually decline or remove a specific sponsor while keeping their Sponsors profile active.

It would be useful if GitHub introduced a feature to accept, decline, or block individual sponsorships without having to disable the entire Sponsors profile.

Hope this helps!
