The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k honor winnings to the MVT, which works to save the UK's small concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in improving facilities and technical equipment that helped artists and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his award winnings to charitable organizations.
When they won the award in the year 1996 for their release their work, frontman the singer declared that the band would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician the artist split her prize between several good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," the artist shared with the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their prize money to the community center that developed their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said artist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory touched another person's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had rescued two local spots in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition program, which is supported by a national body and music fans who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
