The star has handed over the full amount of his £25k award prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's small music venues.
He was awarded the award on mid-October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds supported spaces that were facing possible closure due to issues stemming from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues received monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and gear that helped musicians and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to give his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When they received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman the singer stated that the act would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist the artist divided her award across a few charities, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," the artist told outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked artist Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had rescued two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in that area and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the venues.
