Nebraska Game and Parks Commission 2025 Annual Report
HOW WE'RE FUNDED
Approximately 96% of the agency revenues
were generated through user pay and federal
reimbursement, and approximately 4% came
from the State General Fund.
Revenues from permit sales, federal grants and
other sources are placed into designated funds,
each of which has its revenue and spending
defined by state statute.
These funds include the Game Cash Fund, Park
Cash Fund, General Fund and Habitat Fund,
among others.
