The artist has donated the entirety of his £25,000 honor winnings to the MVT, which works to preserve the UK's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on 16 October as his new release People Watching was declared the best record of the past year.
He has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function local spots played in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Fender also participated, raising over £100k on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in upgrading infrastructure and gear that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from shows in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
When Pulp earned the award in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, artist the artist divided her award across a few charities, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Previously, they gave their prize money to the youth organization that supported their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year they gave their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked singer Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success touched the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT shared it had saved two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
