The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his third album his work was named the best record of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported spaces that were facing possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received funding support in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from shows in major spaces backs the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.
When they won the prize in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would contribute their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her award between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," she explained to a publication.
Previously, the band donated their prize money to the local youth club that supported their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
And winners that year M People gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had saved two local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in that area and the other in the city were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
