The artist has handed over the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on mid-October as his latest record the album was declared the best record of the past year.
He has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages had in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
He also participated, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped locations that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
He is among several artists to give his award winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when they received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman the singer announced that the act would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her bounty between a few good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," the artist explained to a publication.
Two years ago, they contributed their prize money to the youth organization that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year the group donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," said singer the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had protected a couple of small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in the city were bought under the public acquisition program, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "stakes" in the properties.
