The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to save the United Kingdom's small music venues.
Fender was awarded the prize on 16 October as his new release his work was chosen as the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
The donation assisted locations that were facing potential shutdown due to issues stemming from water damage, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues obtained funding support in modernizing facilities and gear that helped artists and fans.
"The notion that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to give his award winnings to charitable organizations.
In they earned the trophy in 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the act would donate their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," the artist explained to the media.
Two years ago, the band gave their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their band, alongside other local music groups.
And 1994 winners M People donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," said artist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
