Fullbringers are humans who had a mother that was attacked by a hollow before they were born. By Ginjo's statement that he gave Ichigo Fullbring powers, he meant that he awakened Ichigo's dormant Fullbring. He said that he wasn't born with them. Chad was there and he didn't awaken his abilities till the beginning of the series and yet he still said all of them (including chad) were born with them. Besides it was already explained that they share abilities with substitute soul reapers

Please refer to the Fullbringer page. It is stated there that ALL Fullbringers are born with their powers though the age at which they come to realize it varies. Like Yukio and Giriko, they realized their power at VERY NOTICEABLE different time. It was stated that they share abilities with THE substitute soul reaper, Ichigo, because he has hollow powers. Fullbringers have hollow-oriented powers, they manipulate the soul of an object. They "pull" the souls of any object to further augment their skills though they need an object of focus to successfully become a Fullbringer (e.g. Combat Pass, Cross of Scaffold).
