The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the prize on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was named the top album of the past year.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the performances I did around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across Britain.
The donation supported venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received funding support in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from performances in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
Fender is among several artists to donate his honor funds to good deeds.
Back when the band won the award in 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman the singer announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
That year, rapper and singer the artist divided her prize between several good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, they gave their winnings to the community center that developed their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients they contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," stated artist Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved several local spots in that region, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in that area and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
