The star has given the full amount of his £25k honor cash to the MVT, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's small music venues.
Fender was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was named the best record of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also joined in, raising over £100k on his live tour to support numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported locations that were facing imminent closure due to issues caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
The musician is among several artists to donate his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
In the band won the prize in 1996 for their album their work, vocalist the singer announced that the act would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her award among several charities, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the local youth club that supported their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year M People gave their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"Winning was ample," said artist Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Last week, the trust revealed it had rescued several small stages in that region, by bringing them into local control.
The first in the city and the second in the city were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by the arts council and music fans who buy "shares" in the properties.
