The artist has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's grassroots music venues.
The star was awarded the award on October 16 as his latest record his work was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots had in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 local spots across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to issues stemming from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from shows in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to give his award prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist Cocker announced that the group would donate their winnings to the organization the charity.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her prize between a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
In recent years, the band donated their winnings to the community center that supported their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Also winners that year the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success affected the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT announced it had protected two grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in Southampton and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
