The star has given the entirety of his £25,000 award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his new release his work was named the top album of the previous year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues stemming from water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and audiences.
"The concept that funds from shows in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is far from the only musician to donate his honor funds to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp received the award in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman the singer announced that the band would donate their winnings to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her award between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the community center that developed their act, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they donated their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated vocalist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had rescued several local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who buy "stakes" in the properties.
