The Manitoba Eco-Network does not lobby and is non-partisan; however, some of its member groups are partisan organizations and may lobby government or participate in government consultations. The Steering Committee of the organization is elected at the Annual General Meeting and is composed of representatives of member groups and one or two individual members. Funding is provided by the Government of Manitoba, the Government of Canada, various foundations and granting agencies, membership fees, donations, and through fundraising events. In 2019, cuts to Manitoba's environmental programming budgets threatened the organization's future.
