The business model is government funding: services are provided free of charge to families, with revenue derived from municipal government commissions based on the number of children served in the region. The organization operates under the Dutch youth healthcare regulatory framework, including adherence to WCAG 2.1 Level AA digital accessibility standards and the Wet op de Geneeskundige Behandelingsovereenkomst. CJG Rijnmond collaborates closely with RIVM on national newborn screening, with GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond on complementary public health initiatives, and with regional maternity care partners (Geboortecentrum Sophia, Aanmeldpunt Moeders van Rotterdam, midwives, hospitals). The organization is governed by a Supervisory Board (Raad van Toezicht) chaired by Esselien de Leeuw as of January 2026 and operates a Directeur Bedrijfsvoering (Director of Operations) executive structure.
