allocates
Distributes among recipients
Allocates is the verb allocate in action—to set aside or distribute resources for a particular purpose.
Governments allocate funds to programs, managers allocate staff to projects, and systems allocate memory to applications.
The word implies deliberate assignment according to a plan rather than random distribution: The committee allocates scholarships based on need.
