The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which functions to save the UK's small music venues.
The star was presented with the award on 16 October as his third album the album was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also participated, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds helped venues that were dealing with possible closure due to issues caused by floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues received funding support in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from performances in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would give their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she split her prize across a few good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Two years ago, the band gave their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners they gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the second in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
