The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the Britain's grassroots music venues.
The star was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his new release his work was named the best record of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the performances I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
He also joined in, raising over £100k on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The idea that money from performances in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
When they received the prize in 1996 for their release their work, frontman Cocker declared that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician she divided her prize across several charities, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," she told the media.
Two years ago, the band donated their funds to the youth organization that developed their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had saved two small stages in that region, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who buy "shares" in the properties.
