The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is funded mainly by user pay, which includes
revenue from the sale of hunting and fishing permits and stamps, sale of state park entry
permits, and fees for camping, lodging and activities in Nebraska's state parks and recreation
areas. In 2023, approximately 89% of the agency revenues were generated through user pay and
federal reimbursement, and approximately 11% came from the State General Fund.
Aside from the General Fund, 18 specific funds have been established for agency use. All funds
are subject to budgetary authority provided by the Legislature and the governor. Many of these
funds are restricted, meaning their revenues may only be spent for uses designated under state
law and may not be transferred to the general fund. The 18 funds include: Game Cash Fund,
Park Cash Fund, Habitat Cash Fund, Federal Funds, Fort Atkinson National Park Service Federal
Financials
