donor
Explanation:
donor
giver of the gift quite literally

All the words in my dictionary with gåvo-- are to do with gifts, + givare

gåvobrev = deed of gift,
gåvocheck = gift check

A donor is also used of someone who gives funds, property etc. especially if it is a legal and not a physical person.
