The star has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the UK's independent live music spots.
Fender was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the best record of the past year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the essential function local spots played in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
These funds assisted venues that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained funding support in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from performances in big venues helps the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his award funds to good deeds.
Back when Pulp won the prize in the year 1996 for their release the album, vocalist Cocker declared that the group would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist she split her prize across a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," she shared with the media.
Previously, they gave their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," stated artist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had rescued two small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the other in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
