The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which functions to save the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
He was given the prize on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the past year.
He has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also joined in, generating over £100k on his live tour to help thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The donation helped spaces that were facing imminent closure due to issues stemming from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that helped performers and fans.
"The concept that money from performances in big venues supports the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
The musician is not the first artist to give his award prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when the band won the award in 1996 for their release their work, frontman the singer announced that the group would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer she shared her prize across a few charities, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year they donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked vocalist Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had protected two grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the second in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
