The artist has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the MVT, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's independent concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on mid-October as his third album the album was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, generating over £100k on his live tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to issues caused by flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The concept that funds from concerts in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
He is not the first artist to give his award funds to worthy causes.
In they received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would donate their prize money to the organization the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer she shared her award among several good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Two years ago, the band donated their winnings to the community center that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients M People contributed their award to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had protected a couple of local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
