The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 award cash to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
He was given the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
He has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, generating over £100k on his recent tour to support 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped venues that were dealing with possible closure due to issues arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations received funding support in improving amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in major spaces backs the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
Back when they won the prize in 1996 for their album their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would donate their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
That year, artist she shared her award between a few good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," the artist told outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the youth organization that supported their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners the group contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," said singer Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success impacted another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership program, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
