The star has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to protect the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
He was given the prize on mid-October as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role local spots had in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in improving infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The idea that funds from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to donate his award winnings to charitable organizations.
When they won the award in 1996 for their album their work, frontman Cocker stated that the act would give their cash to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her award across a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," she explained to a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners the group donated their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was ample," stated vocalist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our success affected another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had rescued two grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in that location were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
