The star has donated the full amount of his £25k honor winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
He was awarded the prize on mid-October as his third album People Watching was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in improving amenities and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from shows in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
He is not the first artist to donate his award funds to charitable organizations.
In they received the prize in the mid-90s for their release the album, vocalist Cocker declared that the act would donate their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her bounty between a few good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," she shared with the media.
Two years ago, they gave their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners the group donated their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved two small stages in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the second in the city were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "stakes" in the venues.
