The star has given the entirety of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the award on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was declared the top album of the past year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
He also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped locations that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received funding support in improving infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
Fender is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
When the band won the award in the year 1996 for their album their work, vocalist the singer declared that the act would donate their prize money to the charity the charity.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across multiple charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
Two years ago, they gave their prize money to the community center that developed their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners they contributed their award to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was ample," remarked singer Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had protected several local spots in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in the city were purchased under the community ownership program, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the venues.
