The artist has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
He was given the cheque on mid-October as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
He also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported locations that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained funding support in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that funds from shows in big venues helps the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his honor winnings to good deeds.
When they won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients they gave their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," stated artist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had saved two small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the other in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
