The star has donated the entirety of his £25k award prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to preserve the UK's independent live music spots.
He was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the best record of the past year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The money helped venues that were facing possible closure due to issues stemming from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in modernizing amenities and gear that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas backs the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
He is among several artists to give his award prize money to good deeds.
In Pulp earned the award in the year 1996 for their release their work, vocalist the singer declared that the group would contribute their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her prize across several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," the artist shared with a publication.
In recent years, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients they donated their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked artist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had protected a couple of small stages in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in the city and the second in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is backed by a national body and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
