The star has given the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to protect the UK's small concert spaces.
He was given the award on 16 October as his third album the album was named the top album of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations obtained funding support in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and audiences.
"The concept that money from concerts in large arenas supports the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
The musician is among several artists to donate his honor funds to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp won the prize in 1996 for their release their work, vocalist the singer declared that the act would contribute their prize money to the charity the charity.
During 2002, musician the artist split her bounty across multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," the artist shared with a publication.
Previously, they contributed their prize money to the community center that developed their group, in addition to other local music groups.
And winners that year M People contributed their award to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," stated vocalist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved several small stages in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in that area and the other in the city were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
