The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's grassroots music venues.
The star was given the award on October 16 as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the past year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, collecting over £100k on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
The money supported venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges arising from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received funding support in improving facilities and gear that helped performers and fans.
"The concept that money from concerts in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
Back when they won the prize in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would contribute their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician she divided her prize across multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," she shared with a publication.
Two years ago, they contributed their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their group, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they gave their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Winning was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory affected the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT announced it had saved two local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by a national body and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
