The star has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues stemming from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations received funding support in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The concept that funds from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to give his award funds to charitable organizations.

In recent years, they contributed their funds to the youth organization that developed their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients M People contributed their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," stated artist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved several local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by a national body and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
