bountifulness

Lavish giving nature

Bountifulness is the quality of being bountiful—abundant, generous, or plentiful.

The word describes either the lavishness of a gift or harvest, or the generous spirit of the giver: the bountifulness of the autumn crop, her bountifulness toward those in need.

It overlaps with bounty but emphasizes the ongoing quality rather than a single instance.
