The artist has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor cash to the trust for venues, which works to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots live music spots.
He was awarded the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was named the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots played in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were confronting possible closure due to issues caused by floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in improving amenities and gear that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
He is among several artists to donate his honor winnings to good deeds.
Back when the band won the award in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would give their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her prize across several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," she explained to the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their prize to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated artist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had protected two grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by a national body and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
