Receiving can be a verb, a noun, or an adjective.

As a verb, it is the present participle of receive. Example: He had been receiving monthly checks, but they suddenly stopped.

The gerund form of a verb (ending in "ing") is used as a noun. Example: Receiving this award is a wonderful honor.

Present participles can also be used as adjectives. Example: She was often on the receiving end of his caustic criticism.
