The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his third album People Watching was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The money assisted spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from performances in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
He is not the first artist to donate his award funds to good deeds.
Back when they received the trophy in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman the singer announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her award between a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Previously, the band contributed their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners the group gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," stated artist Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had protected a couple of small stages in that region, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
