NOFO 2026-Cyber-01 Budget Template Attachment B FOR MUNICIPAL APPLICANTS~1.xlsx

This is a budget template and invoice document prepared by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (Mass Tech Collaborative) for municipal applicants responding to the 2026-Cyber-01 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Cyber Resilient Massachusetts Grant Program. The template is designed to accompany grant applications from municipalities seeking funding for Security Operations Center (SOC) services, including Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and related cybersecurity services. The document serves as both a budget planning tool and an invoicing mechanism, structured to track project costs across multiple billing periods with designated columns for forward-funded amounts and expensed amounts across up to four invoice cycles.

The budget template is organized into standard cost categories including direct labor (with fields for employee names, titles, hours, and rates), subcontractors and consultants, direct materials, travel expenses, other direct costs, and general and administrative expenses or overhead. Applicants are required to enter their organization name, procurement number (2025-Cyber-01), project title, total MTC funds request, contract period dates, and cumulative project costs. The template calculates total project costs and tracks remaining unspent funds, with all cost entries defaulting to zero dollars pending applicant data entry. This standardized format ensures consistent budget submission and invoicing across all municipal applicants participating in the rolling-basis grant program.
