The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's independent live music spots.
Fender was awarded the award on mid-October as his third album People Watching was named the best record of the past year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported spaces that were confronting possible closure due to issues caused by water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues received monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from concerts in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is among several artists to donate his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When the band received the award in the mid-90s for their album the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would donate their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her award between a few organizations, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," she told outlets.
Two years ago, the band donated their funds to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients they contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated vocalist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory touched another person's life."
Recently, the trust revealed it had rescued several local spots in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by a national body and music fans who acquire "shares" in the venues.
