The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's small concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the prize on mid-October as his third album People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the shows I played around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
He also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The money helped venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from shows in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
He is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize funds to worthy causes.
In they won the prize in the mid-90s for their release their work, vocalist the singer announced that the band would give their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her bounty among multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," the artist told the media.
Previously, they contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, as well as other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked vocalist Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in the city and the other in the city were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who buy "shares" in the buildings.
