STATE SPENDING TRANSPARENCY: Here’s an updated overview of the 10 largest General Fund allocations to Nebraska state agencies and entities for the current fiscal year.

Notes:

- Nebraska’s General Fund is the state government’s primary spending account.

- The General Fund is funded largely by Nebraska’s individual income tax, corporate income tax, and sales and use taxes. The Legislature’s budget debates focus heavily on the use of General Fund dollars.

- The amounts shown represent General Fund appropriations only and do not reflect other funding sources available to state entities – such as federal funds, state cash funds, or revolving funds.

STATE SPENDING TRANSPARENCY: Here’s an overview of Nebraska state government’s direct funding for K-12 public schools.

Notes:

- TEEOSA stands for the Tax Equity and Educational Opportunities Support Act, which is the core formula used by the State of Nebraska to help fund public K-12 schools. Enacted by the Nebraska Legislature in 1990, TEEOSA seeks to reduce funding disparities among school districts. According to the Nebraska Department of Education, 44 districts are receiving equalization aid for the current school year.

- TEEOSA is the largest General Fund line item for state aid to local governments.

- The Education Future Fund, created in 2023, complements TEEOSA as the state government’s newest public school funding mechanism. It supports K-12 districts by providing per-student foundation aid and special education funding.

- The state spending illustrated on this graph does not include locally levied property taxes for K-12 public school districts. In 2025, for example, Nebraska’s K-12 school districts levied more than $3.3 billion (about 60% of the nearly $5.6 billion in property taxes levied by local governments that year). Combined with approximately $1.5 billion in direct state aid in FY 2025-26, those amounts total about $4.8 billion for K-12 public schools.
