Nebraska Game and Parks Commission
55
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 2024, approximately 90% of the agency revenues were generated through user pay and
federal reimbursement, and approximately 10% 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 diagram below:
