The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to save the United Kingdom's grassroots live music spots.
The star was presented with the award on 16 October as his latest record his work was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots had in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Fender also participated, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 local spots across the UK.
The money assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from concerts in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor prize money to worthy causes.
When they won the trophy in 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would give their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
That year, artist the artist split her bounty between several charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
In recent years, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their band, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year they gave their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked singer Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had saved two local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in the city were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
