TLDR; Code Sponsor brought funding to small and large projects on GitHub. But GitHub didn't want ads and Code Sponsor shutdown.

Starting in January, Code Sponsor will take on a new role of matchmaker between sponsors and developers. Funding will be provided at a flat monthly rate. Code Sponsor will represent the developers as an "agent" and negotiate the highest rates on a month-by-month basis.
