The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
The star was awarded the award on mid-October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
He has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
He also joined in, raising over £100k on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations received funding support in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from performances in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
He is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when Pulp received the award in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, lead singer the singer declared that the act would donate their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite shared her award among a few good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a grand to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," the artist told the media.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their act, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the illness.
"The victory was ample," said artist the singer. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust announced it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in that area and the other in that location were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
