The star has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's independent live music spots.
The star was presented with the prize on mid-October as his third album his work was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The money assisted venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that helped artists and audiences.
"The concept that funds from shows in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has stated.
He is not the first artist to give his award winnings to good deeds.
In they earned the prize in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her prize among a few organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And winners that year the group donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked artist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched the lives of others."
Recently, the trust announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in the city were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
