The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the award on October 16 as his latest record his work was named the best record of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues had in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Fender also participated, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
The money assisted spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The idea that money from concerts in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
He is not the first artist to donate his award funds to good deeds.
In they received the trophy in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, frontman the singer announced that the band would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, artist she shared her award between multiple organizations, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
In recent years, they contributed their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their band, alongside other local music groups.
And winners that year M People contributed their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked artist Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected a couple of small stages in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the other in the city were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
