The Nebraska Game & Parks Commission (NGPC) received a $400,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education and Safety program (CFDA 15.611) for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. This award supports the administrative coordination, supervision, and oversight functions necessary to manage NGPC's portfolio of Wildlife Restoration Federal Aid Program activities. The funding enables NGPC to maintain compliance with program guidelines, ensure proper documentation of grant-funded conservation work, and coordinate the delivery of wildlife management and hunter education services across Nebraska.

The grant funds administrative services that support NGPC's broader wildlife conservation mission, including habitat restoration, wildlife population monitoring, hunter education program delivery, land acquisition for wildlife management, and endangered species recovery initiatives. By providing dedicated administrative resources, this Formula Grant enables NGPC to effectively manage multiple concurrent federal conservation funding streams and ensure that project activities produce measurable conservation outcomes aligned with federal objectives. NGPC's Budget and Fiscal Division administers these funds to support the agency's ongoing obligations as a state wildlife agency under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act framework.
