The star has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's independent music venues.
He was awarded the prize on mid-October as his new release his work was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also joined in, raising over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to support numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation supported spaces that were facing possible closure due to issues arising from floods, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and gear that helped performers and audiences.
"The idea that money from shows in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, lead singer the singer stated that the act would give their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her prize among several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," she shared with outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the community center that developed their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners they contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer Small. "The money was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved several grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The first in Southampton and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "shares" in the properties.
