The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's independent music venues.
The star was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function local spots had in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, generating over £100k on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported spaces that were confronting possible closure due to challenges stemming from floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations received monetary aid in improving infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
He is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
In Pulp earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, lead singer the singer announced that the group would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her prize across multiple organizations, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," the artist shared with a publication.
Previously, the band donated their winnings to the community center that developed their group, as well as other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients M People gave their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved a couple of local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in that area and the other in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the properties.
