The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the Music Venues Trust, which works to protect the UK's independent concert spaces.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his third album the album was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted venues that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in modernizing facilities and gear that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from shows in large arenas supports the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his award winnings to good deeds.
In the band won the prize in 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the group would donate their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her prize across several good causes, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," she explained to a publication.
Previously, the band donated their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People contributed their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the second in the city were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
