The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 award winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots music venues.
Fender was awarded the prize on mid-October as his third album his work was chosen as the best record of the past year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role grassroots venues played in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
He also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 local spots across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges arising from flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his honor winnings to good deeds.
Back when Pulp earned the award in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist the singer declared that the group would give their prize money to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among a few organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," the artist shared with the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their group, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners the group contributed their award to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said vocalist the singer. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had saved two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
