The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to save the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the best record of the previous year.
He has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
The money supported locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from performances in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to good deeds.
When they received the trophy in the mid-90s for their album the album, vocalist the singer announced that the group would donate their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award among several charities, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, the band donated their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year the group donated their award to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had rescued two small stages in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
