The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which operates to protect the UK's independent live music spots.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his third album his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots had in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous local spots across the UK.
The donation supported venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations received monetary aid in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from shows in major spaces helps the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
When Pulp won the award in the mid-90s for their record the album, frontman the singer announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her prize between multiple charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," she explained to outlets.
Two years ago, the band donated their winnings to the community center that nurtured their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year M People donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was ample," said vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued a couple of small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The first in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
