The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
He was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his third album the album was named the best record of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges arising from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
In the band won the prize in 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would contribute their prize money to the organization the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the community center that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients they contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated vocalist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued two small stages in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in that area and the second in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the buildings.
