The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25k award winnings to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's independent music venues.
The star was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots had in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations received monetary aid in upgrading facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The concept that revenue from performances in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to give his honor funds to worthy causes.
Back when they won the trophy in the year 1996 for their record their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would contribute their cash to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist split her award across a few organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," she explained to outlets.
Two years ago, the band gave their prize money to the community center that developed their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year they donated their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Winning was ample," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had rescued two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the second in that location were bought under the public acquisition program, which is backed by a national body and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
