The star has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's small live music spots.
Fender was given the cheque on mid-October as his latest record his work was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
He has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and gear that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from concerts in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
He is among several artists to contribute his award funds to worthy causes.
In the band earned the award in the mid-90s for their record the album, vocalist Cocker announced that the band would give their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician the artist split her award across multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to a publication.
Two years ago, the band donated their funds to the youth organization that developed their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients they gave their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," stated vocalist Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were purchased under the community ownership program, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
