The artist has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
The star was given the award on mid-October as his new release the album was chosen as the top album of the past year.
He has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also took part, raising over £100k on his live tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The money supported spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The idea that money from performances in big venues backs the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
In the band earned the award in 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist the singer stated that the group would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her award between several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a grand to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," she shared with outlets.
Two years ago, the band donated their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients the group contributed their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had saved several small stages in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the properties.
