The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the Britain's small concert spaces.
The star was given the prize on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were confronting possible closure due to challenges caused by flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received funding support in modernizing facilities and gear that helped musicians and audiences.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues helps the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award prize money to good deeds.
Back when Pulp earned the prize in the year 1996 for their release their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite shared her prize between several charities, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," she shared with a publication.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected another person's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had rescued two small stages in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who purchase "shares" in the venues.
