The artist has given the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's small music venues.
He was awarded the prize on 16 October as his latest record his work was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds helped locations that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from shows in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to give his honor funds to good deeds.
In Pulp received the prize in 1996 for their album their work, lead singer Cocker declared that the band would give their cash to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, musician she split her award across several organizations, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
In recent years, the band contributed their prize money to the local youth club that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year they gave their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked artist Small. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had protected a couple of small stages in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the other in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "shares" in the venues.
