Organization
Since 2024, Sanquin has operated under a new structure where the entire organization within the Sanquin Foundation – comprising 11 departments – reports to a single Executive Board (RvB). The previous divisions (Blood bank, Research & Lab Services, and Corporate Staff & Corporate Services) have been dissolved. The 11 departments now represent clusters of activities that integrate across the organization.

ANBI Status
Stichting Sanquin (the part focused on public benefit) has been granted ANBI status. ANBI stands for Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling, which translates to Public Benefit Organization. This status offers tax advantages for both the organization and Dutch taxpayers who donate, for example through gifts, to Sanquin.
An ANBI serves the public interest in various ways. It can be a charity, a cultural or scientific institution, or even a church or an organization with a specific philosophical basis. To maintain ANBI status, an organization must dedicate at least 90% of its efforts to the public good, must not aim to generate profit, and must adhere to integrity standards. Furthermore, an ANBI's capital is subject to limitations, and there are stringent regulations regarding expense reimbursements. Additionally, its costs and expenditures must maintain a reasonable balance.
