The artist has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's small music venues.
Fender was presented with the award on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was declared the top album of the previous year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to issues stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in improving amenities and gear that helped artists and audiences.
"The idea that funds from concerts in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
In they received the trophy in 1996 for their release the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the group would contribute their prize money to the charity the charity.
That year, artist the artist divided her prize across several charities, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," the artist told a publication.
In recent years, the band contributed their funds to the youth organization that supported their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners they contributed their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory affected the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved several local spots in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in that area and the second in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by the arts council and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
