The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the award on mid-October as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
He has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
He also took part, collecting over £100k on his live tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations received monetary aid in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The idea that funds from performances in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
Back when Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their release the album, frontman the singer declared that the group would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician she split her bounty across several good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, the band donated their funds to the community center that supported their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners M People donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was ample," said vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT announced it had saved several grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in the city were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "shares" in the venues.
