The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his new release the album was declared the best record of the past year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The money helped venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.
When Pulp earned the trophy in 1996 for their record the album, frontman the singer declared that the group would donate their prize money to the organization the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her award between a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked artist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust shared it had rescued several small stages in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who acquire "shares" in the properties.
