The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 honor prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which works to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his new release the album was named the top album of the past year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
He also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported locations that were confronting imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained funding support in upgrading facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from shows in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
In the band earned the trophy in 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist the singer stated that the act would give their prize money to the charity the charity.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her award among several organizations, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the youth organization that supported their group, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People contributed their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," stated artist Small. "The money was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The first in that area and the other in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
