The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 honor cash to the Music Venues Trust, which works to preserve the United Kingdom's independent music venues.
He was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his new release his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages played in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from shows in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
He is not the first artist to give his award prize money to good deeds.
In they received the prize in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would donate their prize money to the charity the charity.
In 2002, artist she split her award across several organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," she shared with outlets.
Previously, the band contributed their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked artist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had rescued several small stages in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the properties.
