endowable
Able to gift
Endowable describes something capable of being endowed—given a permanent fund or granted a quality or attribute.
An endowable position at a university can receive donor funding to support it indefinitely: The chair was endowable but had not yet attracted a benefactor.
The word is uncommon, appearing mostly in institutional contexts.
