The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which functions to save the United Kingdom's small music venues.
He was awarded the award on mid-October as his third album his work was named the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across Britain.
The money supported locations that were confronting imminent closure due to issues caused by floods, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained funding support in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The notion that funds from concerts in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
He is far from the only musician to give his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
In Pulp won the award in the year 1996 for their record their work, vocalist the singer declared that the band would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician the artist shared her prize between multiple organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," the artist explained to a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the youth organization that nurtured their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners they gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"The victory was ample," remarked vocalist Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had protected two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
