donee

One who receives

A donee is the recipient of a gift or donation—the person who receives what a donor gives.

The term appears primarily in legal contexts involving property transfers, charitable giving, and estate planning: The donee must accept the gift for the transfer to be complete.

In organ donation, the donee is the transplant recipient.
