The star has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which works to preserve the Britain's small live music spots.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his third album his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots played in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous small stages across the UK.
The money assisted spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations received monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from performances in big venues supports the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to charitable organizations.
When Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the act would donate their cash to the non-profit the charity.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite shared her award across several charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," the artist explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their band, as well as other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients the group gave their winnings to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," stated singer the singer. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched the lives of others."
Recently, the trust revealed it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
