The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k honor winnings to the MVT, which operates to preserve the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on mid-October as his new release his work was named the top album of the past year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and gear that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from performances in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
He is among several artists to contribute his award winnings to charitable organizations.
When they received the prize in 1996 for their album their work, lead singer the singer stated that the group would give their cash to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite divided her prize across several charities, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," the artist told outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the community center that nurtured their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked singer Small. "The money was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory affected the lives of others."
Last week, the trust shared it had rescued a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the other in the city were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
