The artist has donated the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's small music venues.
The star was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his new release the album was declared the best record of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots played in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
He also participated, raising over £100k on his recent tour to assist 38 small stages across the UK.
The money assisted spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges caused by floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces backs the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
In they earned the trophy in 1996 for their record their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist shared her bounty across multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Previously, they contributed their funds to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year M People contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in that area and the other in Bristol were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
