The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the United Kingdom's small live music spots.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his third album the album was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to issues arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations received monetary aid in upgrading amenities and gear that helped performers and fans.
"The concept that revenue from performances in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
When Pulp won the prize in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, lead singer Cocker announced that the act would give their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her prize among a few charities, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," she explained to outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their band, alongside other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory affected another person's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had protected two local spots in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in Southampton and the second in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
