The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which works to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
He has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
He also took part, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to help thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds supported venues that were facing imminent closure due to challenges caused by floods, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in improving facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from performances in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
Fender is among several artists to donate his award funds to good deeds.
When Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their record their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her award among a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," she explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the community center that nurtured their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked 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 victory affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had protected a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the venues.
