The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's grassroots music venues.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the best record of the past year.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function small stages played in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
The donation assisted locations that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in improving facilities and gear that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that money from concerts in big venues backs the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
In Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their release the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist shared her prize across multiple good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," the artist told the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the youth organization that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," stated singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had saved a couple of local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
