The artist has given the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which works to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was given the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the past year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I did around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 small stages across the UK.
These funds assisted locations that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and gear that helped performers and audiences.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
He is among several artists to contribute his award winnings to worthy causes.
Back when they won the trophy in the mid-90s for their release the album, vocalist the singer stated that the act would contribute their cash to the organization the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her bounty between several charities, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," she told outlets.
Previously, the band gave their prize money to the local youth club that supported their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year the group gave their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"The victory was ample," said singer Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had rescued a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in the city were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "shares" in the buildings.
