The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the UK's small live music spots.
The star was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to issues caused by floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The concept that funds from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to give his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
When they received the prize in 1996 for their release the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her prize between multiple charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the local youth club that supported their group, as well as other local music groups.
And winners that year the group gave their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the other in that location were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by a national body and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
