A person or thing that causes something to become broader or wider, whether literally or figuratively.
From broaden (to make broad) plus -er (agent suffix), creating 'one who or that which broadens.'
A good education is a broadener of minds, a travel experience is a broadener of perspectives—this underappreciated word lets us name things by their effect rather than their essence, which is both poetic and philosophically interesting.
