The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also participated, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to support numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation assisted spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that money from performances in major spaces helps the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to give his award winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp won the award in 1996 for their record their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her award between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," the artist told the media.
Previously, the band donated their funds to the local youth club that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was ample," remarked artist Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under local control.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "shares" in the venues.
