The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent music venues.
He was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role local spots played in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
He also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 local spots across Britain.
The donation supported locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The concept that money from performances in major spaces helps the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to donate his Mercury Prize funds to worthy causes.
Back when they won the trophy in the year 1996 for their release their work, frontman Cocker declared that the group would give their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician she shared her prize among several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," the artist explained to outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year M People contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked singer Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had saved several grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The first in the city and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who purchase "shares" in the properties.
