The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which functions to preserve the UK's small concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his new release his work was named the best record of the past year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from concerts in major spaces backs the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
When Pulp earned the prize in 1996 for their album their work, vocalist Cocker declared that the band would give their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her prize across a few charities, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the community center that developed their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients the group gave their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had protected several local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in the city and the other in the city were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
