endowing
Providing lasting support
Endowing is the act of providing with a quality, ability, or asset.
Nature endows some people with extraordinary talent.
To endow an institution is to furnish it with ongoing financial support: The family endowed a chair in economics at the university.
Something well-endowed has been generously supplied—with funds, attributes, or in slang, physical assets.
