Major Divisions
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is predominately funded by user pay,
which includes revenue from the sale of hunting and fi shing stamps and permits,
sale of state park entry permits, and fees for camping, lodging and activities in
Nebraska's state parks and recreation areas. In 2018, approximately 89 percent
of agency revenues were generated through user pay and federal reimbursement,
and approximately 11 percent came from the State General Fund. Revenues
from permit sales, federal grants and other sources are placed into several funds,
including Game Cash Fund, Park Cash Fund, General Fund and Habitat Fund.
Money in these funds is then used to pay for specifi c programs, as illustrated in the
