rewarder

One who compensates

A rewarder is someone who gives rewards—a person or entity that compensates, recognizes, or repays others for their actions or achievements.

The term appears most often in religious or moral contexts: God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

It can also describe anyone who incentivizes behavior: The company positioned itself as a rewarder of innovation.
