The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's grassroots music venues.
Fender was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was chosen as the best record of the past year.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots played in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
He also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 small stages across the UK.
The money supported locations that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
He is among several artists to give his honor funds to worthy causes.
In Pulp received the award in the year 1996 for their record the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would give their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her prize between multiple organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," she shared with the media.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the community center that nurtured their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners they gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked vocalist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "shares" in the properties.
