The artist has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was awarded the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots played in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I did around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
The money assisted spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from shows in major spaces helps the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
Fender is among several artists to give his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when the band earned the award in the mid-90s for their record the album, lead singer the singer declared that the band would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she shared her award across several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," she told the media.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the youth organization that developed their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year the group donated their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was ample," stated singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our success affected another person's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had rescued a couple of small stages in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "shares" in the properties.
