# Reassign a sponsorship recipient

> Moves the donor relationship and linked type1 commitments to a visible available recipient, including another accessible program. Preserves payment amounts/frequency/method/billing anchors; updates designation/funding and recipient availability. Locks block concurrent billing and recheck donor, target capacity and duplicates. The reasoned contract uses expected version plus UUID retry fingerprint; an identical retry returns replayed=true. Presence of target_entity_id selects older controls semantics: entity_id defaults from it, reason/notes/effective-time/version/retry inputs are ignored and a compact sponsorship result is returned. Controls mode requires lifecycle controls and can reject missing reasons when reason selection is required.
