The star has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which operates to protect the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
The star was presented with the prize on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots played in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I played around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in upgrading amenities and gear that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The concept that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
He is among several artists to give his honor prize money to worthy causes.
In Pulp received the award in 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist Cocker stated that the band would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist she split her prize among a few good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Two years ago, the band donated their funds to the community center that nurtured their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected two small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
