The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 honor winnings to the MVT, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was named the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted venues that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues received funding support in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The concept that funds from concerts in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to give his honor funds to good deeds.
Back when they earned the award in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award between several charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," she explained to outlets.
In recent years, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year they contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Winning was ample," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved two small stages in that region, by placing them under local control.
The first in Southampton and the other in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by a national body and supporters who purchase "shares" in the properties.
