The star has donated the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to save the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his latest record the album was named the top album of the past year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, raising over £100k on his recent tour to help thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped spaces that were confronting possible closure due to issues stemming from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from performances in big venues backs the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
In they won the trophy in the year 1996 for their release their work, lead singer the singer stated that the act would donate their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, musician the artist shared her award among a few charities, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Previously, they gave their winnings to the local youth club that supported their band, as well as other local music groups.
Also winners that year the group gave their award to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved several small stages in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the second in that location were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
