aportados

Aportados is the plural form of the Spanish adjective participle aportado, derived from the verb aportar, meaning to contribute or provide. In Spanish usage, aportados refers to people, organizations, or items that have contributed resources—such as funds, data, materials, or expertise—to a project, program, or institution. It can function as a noun when used to describe the contributors themselves or the items that have been contributed, depending on the context.

In formal writing or reports, the word often appears in phrases like los aportados al fondo or los datos aportados por las instituciones. It is common in fundraising, academic research, corporate governance, and open-data projects to acknowledge aportados as contributors or to designate contributions.

Aportado can also be an adjective describing that something has been provided. The singular form aportado becomes aportados in plural; the feminine form is aportada or aportadas, depending on gender and number, when used as an adjective.

Related terms include aportación (the act or amount of contributing), aportante (the contributor), and aportaciones (contributions). The word is widely used in contexts where recognition, accountability, or documentation of contributions is relevant.
