Major Divisions
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is predominantly funded by user
pay, which includes revenue from the sale of hunting and fishing 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 2019, approximately
87 percent of the agency revenues were generated through user pay and federal
reimbursement, and approximately 13 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 specific programs, as
