The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
Fender was presented with the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the past year.
He has opted to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the shows I did around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
He also took part, raising over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to help thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds supported locations that were facing potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations obtained funding support in improving amenities and gear that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that funds from concerts in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to give his award prize money to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp received the trophy in 1996 for their album the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer she shared her award across multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," the artist told a publication.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients M People donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the venues.
