The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which operates to protect the UK's small live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on mid-October as his third album People Watching was declared the top album of the previous year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges caused by water damage, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The idea that money from shows in major spaces helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
He is far from the only musician to give his award funds to good deeds.
When Pulp received the prize in the mid-90s for their record their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, artist the artist split her bounty across multiple organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients M People gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," said artist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had protected a couple of local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in the city were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
