The artist has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the United Kingdom's small music venues.
Fender was presented with the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was named the top album of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role local spots played in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges caused by water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in improving facilities and gear that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from shows in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
Fender is among several artists to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
Back when they earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would donate their prize money to the charity the charity.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite split her bounty between several charities, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
And 1994 winners M People contributed their award to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued several local spots in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
