The star has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the MVT, which operates to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was presented with the award on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the best record of the past year.
He has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function local spots played in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to issues caused by floods, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The idea that funds from concerts in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
He is among several artists to give his award prize money to worthy causes.
When they earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would give their cash to the organization the charity.
During 2002, artist the artist shared her bounty between a few good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," she explained to the media.
In recent years, they donated their winnings to the local youth club that developed their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners the group donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"The victory was ample," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
