The star has given the entirety of his £25k honor prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was awarded the award on October 16 as his new release his work was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function local spots had in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support numerous local spots across Britain.
These funds supported locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and fans.
"The concept that money from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.
When Pulp earned the prize in the year 1996 for their release their work, lead singer the singer stated that the group would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her prize between several charities, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to outlets.
In recent years, they gave their winnings to the youth organization that developed their group, alongside other local music groups.
And 1994 winners the group contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," stated vocalist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our success touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved two local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
