The artist has given the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the UK's independent concert spaces.
He was given the cheque on mid-October as his new release his work was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
The money assisted spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The concept that funds from shows in large arenas backs the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
When the band won the award in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Cocker stated that the band would give their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, artist she shared her award between multiple charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, they donated their funds to the community center that supported their act, in addition to other local music groups.
And winners that year they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked artist Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had saved two local spots in the South East, by placing them under local control.
One venue in that area and the second in the city were bought under the public acquisition program, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
