The star has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's independent live music spots.
He was given the cheque on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was declared the top album of the previous year.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
He also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were confronting possible closure due to challenges caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas supports the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
In the band earned the prize in 1996 for their album their work, frontman the singer stated that the group would contribute their cash to the charity War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer she divided her bounty across a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Previously, the band contributed their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners they contributed their prize to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Winning was ample," said vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT announced it had protected a couple of local spots in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in that area and the other in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by the arts council and supporters who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
