Profile Capability — dev.ugp.giving.profile

The profile capability carries the descriptive, branding, and tax metadata for a nonprofit. Its config object is validated by source/schemas/giving/profile.json ($id: https://ugp.dev/schemas/giving/profile.json).

A nonprofit declares this capability in its /.well-known/ucp profile:

jsonc "capabilities": { "dev.ugp.giving.profile": [ { "version": "2026-06-25", "spec": "https://ugp.dev/specification/profile", "schema": "https://ugp.dev/schemas/giving/profile.json", "config": { /* profile.json object */ } } ] }

The same object is also returned by the GET /profile REST endpoint.
