The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which works to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his latest record his work was named the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
These funds supported locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from performances in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his honor winnings to good deeds.
Back when they won the prize in 1996 for their record the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would contribute their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her award across a few good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," the artist told outlets.
In recent years, they contributed their winnings to the local youth club that supported their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year they contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
One venue in that area and the second in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
