The star has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which functions to save the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
The star was given the award on 16 October as his new release the album was chosen as the top album of the past year.
He has opted to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
The money supported locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to issues arising from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and audiences.
"The concept that money from shows in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is among several artists to donate his honor funds to charitable organizations.
Back when the band won the award in the mid-90s for their release the album, lead singer the singer declared that the group would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
In 2002, musician she split her prize among a few good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," she told outlets.
Two years ago, the band contributed their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory affected the lives of others."
Recently, the trust announced it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
