Nebraska Game and Parks Commission
53
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is predominately 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 2022, approximately 89% of the agency revenues were generated through user pay and
federal reimbursement, and approximately 11% 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 then
is used to pay for specific programs, as illustrated in the diagram below:
