The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's small live music spots.
The star was given the prize on October 16 as his third album his work was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, generating over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped locations that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted funding support in upgrading amenities and gear that helped artists and fans.
"The idea that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band won the trophy in 1996 for their release the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her prize among a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
In recent years, the band donated their funds to the community center that nurtured their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients M People donated their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said artist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected several small stages in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in that area and The Croft in the city were acquired under the community ownership program, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
