The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 honor prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was awarded the prize on October 16 as his latest record his work was named the best record of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots had in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that helped performers and fans.
"The notion that funds from concerts in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to give his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
In Pulp won the award in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," she explained to a publication.
Two years ago, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that supported their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners the group donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," stated singer Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected another person's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had saved several small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
