The star has handed over the entirety of his £25,000 honor winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
He was given the award on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have shut down – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The idea that money from shows in major spaces backs the local stages, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to worthy causes.
In they received the trophy in 1996 for their record the album, lead singer the singer announced that the act would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award between multiple charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory affected another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and the other in that location were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
