The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k award winnings to the MVT, which works to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was given the award on mid-October as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the past year.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function local spots played in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
The money supported locations that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
He is among several artists to contribute his award prize money to good deeds.
In the band earned the award in the mid-90s for their record their work, lead singer the singer stated that the group would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she split her prize among multiple organizations, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
In recent years, the band contributed their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their award to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated artist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had protected several local spots in that region, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
