recipient
One who receives
A recipient is someone who receives something—a letter, a gift, an award, a transplanted organ.
The word emphasizes the receiving end of a transaction: She was the recipient of numerous honors.
It appears frequently in formal or institutional contexts: grant recipients, aid recipients, email recipients.
