The star has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the Britain's small music venues.
The star was awarded the award on October 16 as his third album his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Fender also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous small stages across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in improving facilities and gear that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to give his honor winnings to worthy causes.
When they won the award in 1996 for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would donate their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist split her award between a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, as well as other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners M People gave their award to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our success touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust announced it had saved a couple of local spots in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the second in the city were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by a national body and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
