The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was given the prize on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 local spots across Britain.
The money helped spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues received monetary aid in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from shows in big venues helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
When the band won the prize in the mid-90s 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 shared her award across multiple good causes, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," she explained to outlets.
Previously, the band donated their funds to the local youth club that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients M People gave their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," said singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had protected a couple of local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in the city were bought under the public acquisition program, which is supported by a national body and music fans who purchase "shares" in the properties.
