Bison, Inc., based out of Lincoln, Nebraska, contributes the majority of the NBDA budget each year. The balance of the budget is derived from membership dues and special events. Each year the NBDA conducts several events which serve as fund raisers and social gatherings for all NBDA/NBCA members and invited guests. The Bison Freshmen StateTournament held over Memorial weekend each year at Lincoln Northeast High School is a major fundraiser for the NBDA. Forty teams from across the state participate in this annual tournament.
