The artist has given the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's independent music venues.
The star was awarded the award on October 16 as his latest record his work was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages played in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds supported spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges caused by water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from shows in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
Back when they won the award in the year 1996 for their record their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would donate their prize money to the charity the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her award among several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
In recent years, they donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners they donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked singer Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
