Ayoola leads on all aspects of the administration of the grants processes, covering the whole cycle of grantmaking from start to completion. Ayoola also leads on the SmartSimple system maintenance and development of the system to meet the needs of the Charity as it expands its grant-making programmes.

She joined the charity in 2021, having previously worked as a Lead Grants Administrator at Jesus House for the Love Your Neighbour (LYN) Grant from the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sports (DCMS) to multi-level grantees within the community. The LYN grant aimed to enable communities to have a more significant response to the impact of Covid19.
