recipients
People getting something
Recipients are the people or entities that receive something—money, mail, organs, awards, or information.
The word appears frequently in formal and institutional contexts: aid recipients, email recipients, the recipient of the Nobel Prize.
A recipient is passive in the transaction, defined by what comes to them rather than what they give.
