The star has donated the entirety of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was presented with the prize on mid-October as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 small stages across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to issues caused by floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to good deeds.
When Pulp won the award in the mid-90s for their release their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would donate their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer she split her prize across several organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," she shared with the media.
In recent years, the band donated their prize money to the youth organization that supported their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners they donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had rescued two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "shares" in the properties.
