The star has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's small music venues.
He was presented with the award on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the performances I played around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds supported spaces that were facing possible closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues received funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp earned the award in the mid-90s for their album their work, lead singer Cocker announced that the act would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her bounty among multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the youth organization that developed their act, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked artist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the trust revealed it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in that location were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
