The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 award cash to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his new release People Watching was declared the best record of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted locations that were confronting possible closure due to challenges caused by water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues were granted funding support in improving infrastructure and gear that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from shows in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his award winnings to good deeds.
In the band won the award in 1996 for their album their work, lead singer Cocker declared that the band would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she split her prize between a few good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," the artist told the media.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their act, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they donated their award to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the condition.
"The victory was ample," said singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had saved several small stages in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in Southampton and the other in that location were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is funded by a national body and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
