The star has given the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which works to protect the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
He was given the award on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the best record of the past year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The money supported venues that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations received monetary aid in modernizing amenities and gear that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The notion that money from shows in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his award funds to charitable organizations.
In they won the award in 1996 for their release their work, frontman Cocker announced that the band would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist she divided her bounty across a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," the artist explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the youth organization that supported their act, alongside other local music groups.
Also 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 sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had protected several small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
