The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 award cash to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to save the Britain's grassroots music venues.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his latest record his work was declared the best record of the previous year.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
He also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
The donation helped spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in major spaces backs the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to worthy causes.
When the band earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their record the album, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would give their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist the artist shared her bounty across multiple organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Two years ago, the band gave their prize money to the youth organization that developed their band, as well as other local music groups.
And 1994 winners they donated their winnings to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted another person's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had saved two small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and the second in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
