The star has given the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which functions to preserve the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
Fender was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
The donation helped locations that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that money from concerts in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
Back when they earned the award in the year 1996 for their record their work, vocalist Cocker announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her bounty between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," the artist explained to a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that developed their group, as well as other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients the group donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated vocalist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success touched another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had rescued two local spots in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
