Annual grants are funded through the proceeds of the Nebraska Lottery, meaning that people who enjoy the fun and excitement of the Lottery also know they are helping keep the state's land, air and water clean for future generations. The Nebraska Environmental Trust receives 44.5% of the profits of the Nebraska Lottery.
