The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 award cash to the Music Venues Trust, which works to preserve the Britain's small music venues.
The star was presented with the award on mid-October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the past year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages played in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
He also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous small stages across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges caused by floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces backs the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
Fender is among several artists to donate his award prize money to worthy causes.
Back when they received the award in the year 1996 for their record the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would contribute their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across a few charities, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Two years ago, they contributed their winnings to the local youth club that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"The victory was ample," remarked singer the singer. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success touched another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved several small stages in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the venues.
