The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 award prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's small music venues.
He was given the cheque on mid-October as his third album the album was named the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds assisted spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in improving facilities and gear that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The concept that funds from performances in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
He is far from the only musician to donate his honor funds to good deeds.
In they earned the trophy in 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist the singer announced that the act would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist she shared her bounty between a few organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," the artist shared with outlets.
Two years ago, the band gave their prize money to the community center that supported their group, in addition to other local music groups.
And 1994 winners they gave their award to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning affected another person's life."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had saved two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
