The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 award cash to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
He was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots had in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
He also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous local spots across the UK.
The donation helped venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in improving facilities and gear that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that revenue from performances in big venues helps the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
He is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when Pulp received the prize in the mid-90s for their record their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would donate their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist the artist shared her bounty among several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the youth organization that supported their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners the group contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked artist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued several grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
The first in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
