The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the UK's small live music spots.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was named the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
He also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
The money assisted venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The concept that money from shows in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when the band won the prize in 1996 for their release their work, frontman the singer stated that the band would give their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her bounty between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," she told outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the local youth club that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year they donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Winning was ample," said singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning touched another person's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had rescued a couple of small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
