juttató

Juttató is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb juttat, meaning to grant or provide. It denotes a person or entity that provides juttatások — benefits, allowances, subsidies, or grants — to another party. The term is primarily used in formal or bureaucratic language, such as legal texts, government policy documents, and financial or welfare contexts. A juttató can be a government agency, a company, a foundation, or an individual who disburses funds or benefits.

In practice, juttató describes the payer or funder of benefits in relation to the recipient (kedvezményezett or támogatott). For example, a state program may identify the juttató as the issuer of monthly allowances; a scholarship program as the juttató of student stipends. The word emphasizes the provider’s role rather than the nature of the benefit itself.

The term is less common in everyday conversation, where more general terms such as adományozó, támogató, or kifizető are often preferred depending on context. Juttató forms a semantic field with juttatás (benefit, allowance, grant) and is sometimes used in official documentation to designate the party responsible for disbursing funds. In translation, equivalents include donor, grantor, or funder.
