The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the United Kingdom's small music venues.
He was given the cheque on October 16 as his third album People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots played in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, collecting over £100k on his live tour to support numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained funding support in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that funds from performances in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is among several artists to give his honor winnings to worthy causes.
Back when they earned the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician she split her award among a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, the band donated their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"Winning was ample," said vocalist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had protected two local spots in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in that area and the second in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by the arts council and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
