The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25k award winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the UK's small live music spots.
The star was given the award on mid-October as his new release his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
He has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and fans.
"The idea that revenue from performances in big venues supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his honor funds to good deeds.
When the band earned the trophy in the year 1996 for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician she split her award among a few charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to the media.
Previously, they gave their winnings to the community center that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients the group contributed their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"The victory was ample," said singer Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success touched the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued a couple of small stages in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in the city and the other in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
