fundatoraów

Fundator is a Polish noun meaning founder or sponsor, referring to a person or entity that establishes an organization, foundation, or project, often by providing initial funds. The genitive plural form of fundator is fundatorów, which is used in phrases meaning “of the founders” or “by the founders.” For example: darowizny fundatorów (donations from the founders), decyzje fundatorów (the founders’ decisions).

In usage, fundatorzy (the founders) is commonly contrasted with założyciele, another term for founders or founders of organizations. While założyciel emphasizes the act of establishing, fundator highlights financial support or patronage. In legal and historical contexts, fundator často appears in references to philanthropic bases, foundations, or institutions created with the help of donors. The phrase fundatorów is most frequently encountered in discussions of the foundation’s origins, governance, or beneficiary relations.

Etymology traces fundator to Latin fundator, from fundare “to found.” The word entered Polish with meanings related to founding, establishing, or endowing, and over time it adopted nuances related to sponsorship and endowed support. The genitive plural form fundatorów remains a standard grammatical construction for indicating possession, association, or attribution to multiple founders.
