The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which functions to protect the UK's grassroots music venues.
Fender was awarded the prize on mid-October as his third album his work was named the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 small stages across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from shows in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to charitable organizations.
When they received the award in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
In 2002, musician she divided her award among multiple charities, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," the artist shared with the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year they contributed their award to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked vocalist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our success touched another person's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had rescued several grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in the city and the second in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who buy "stakes" in the venues.
