The artist has donated the entirety of his £25,000 award prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
The star was given the cheque on October 16 as his latest record his work was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots played in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and fans.
"The notion that revenue from performances in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
When they earned the award in 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer the singer announced that the band would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her bounty among several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," the artist explained to the media.
Previously, the band contributed their prize money to the community center that nurtured their group, alongside other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," said artist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued two grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the second in that location were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
