The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the prize on mid-October as his new release the album was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role local spots had in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, generating over £100k on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped locations that were facing possible closure due to issues caused by water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained funding support in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his honor winnings to good deeds.
In the band won the award in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, lead singer Cocker announced that the band would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer she split her award among several charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," she told the media.
Previously, the band donated their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their band, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they donated their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked singer Small. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had protected several grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in the city and The Croft in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
