The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 honor cash to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was presented with the award on October 16 as his latest record his work was named the best record of the past year.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots had in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, generating over £100k on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
The money supported locations that were facing imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations received funding support in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and audiences.
"The idea that money from concerts in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
When they earned the award in 1996 for their album the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would give their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, musician the artist split her bounty across several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners they contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked vocalist Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued two grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who buy "stakes" in the venues.
