The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25k award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to save the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages had in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation assisted locations that were facing possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
The musician is among several artists to donate his honor winnings to good deeds.
In they won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album their work, frontman the singer stated that the act would donate their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her award among multiple charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," the artist explained to the media.
Previously, they donated their funds to the community center that developed their act, as well as other local music groups.
Also winners that year they contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved two small stages in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
