The star has handed over the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his new release the album was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped locations that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in improving facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from shows in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to good deeds.
In Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the band would donate their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite split her prize between a few charities, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Previously, they donated their funds to the community center that supported their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients they donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said singer Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory affected another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and the other in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by a national body and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
