The artist has given the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was presented with the award on October 16 as his latest record the album was named the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots had in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds supported spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from performances in large arenas supports the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to give his honor funds to good deeds.
When the band won the award in the mid-90s for their album the album, lead singer the singer declared that the act would contribute their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist the artist split her award across multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," she explained to the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the local youth club that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our success impacted another person's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued several grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in that area and the second in the city were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
