Darczyców

Darczyców is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun darczyńca, which designates a donor or benefactor—someone who provides gifts, money, or resources to a cause, organization, or project. The base form is darczyńca; the nominative plural is darczyńcy, while the genitive plural (and accusative plural) is darczyńców; the instrumental plural is darczyńcami.

In practical use, darczyńca refers to a person or institution that gives support. Donors may contribute cash, goods, or services to support programs, campaigns, or entities such as charities, cultural institutions, schools, or research initiatives. In written Polish, the term appears in fundraising contexts and reports, often in phrases like od darczyńców (from donors) or darczyńców wsparcie (donors’ support).

The word has standard synonyms and related terms. Ofiarodawca is a closely related, widely used synonym that can carry a slightly more formal or ceremonial connotation. Other related terms include sponsor or darczyńca as a general label for someone who provides assistance. Distinctions exist: darczyńca emphasizes the act of giving, while darowizna denotes the donation itself; darczyńca typically refers to the person, not the donation.

Legal and social context: in philanthropy and civic life, darczyńców play a central role in funding and sustaining projects. Tax and regulatory rules governing donations to eligible recipients may affect how darczyńców contribute and how their gifts are recorded or acknowledged in official documents.
