Adjective modifying all nouns in sentence
My question is whether the adjective "Nebraska" modifies "private nonprofit agencies and foundations" in the following sentence, or just "colleges and universities"? Also, is there an authoritative source for grammer I can cite to when making either interpretation? Thank you.
"Funds appropriated to the center shall be used to sponsor research grants and projects submitted on a competitive basis by Nebraska colleges and universities and private nonprofit agencies and foundtaions, and for the salaries and benefits of the employees of the center."
"Funds appropriated to the center shall be used to sponsor research grants and projects submitted on a competitive basis by Nebraska colleges and universities and private nonprofit agencies and foundtaions, and for the salaries and benefits of the employees of the center."
