The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's small music venues.
The star was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his third album People Watching was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages had in his early career.
"I would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds helped spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The idea that funds from performances in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to good deeds.
In they won the award in 1996 for their record their work, frontman the singer declared that the band would donate their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, artist the artist divided her prize across several organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked updated gear," the artist told outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their band, as well as other local music groups.
And 1994 winners the group gave their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success affected another person's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had rescued several local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by a national body and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
