The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's grassroots music venues.
He was awarded the prize on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 small stages across Britain.
The money assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in improving amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The notion that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to contribute his award prize money to worthy causes.
Back when the band received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, frontman the singer declared that the band would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, musician the artist split her award across multiple charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," the artist shared with a publication.
Previously, they donated their funds to the local youth club that supported their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients the group contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued several local spots in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in the city and the second in the city were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
