The star has given the complete sum of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's grassroots music venues.
Fender was given the cheque on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
He has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Fender also took part, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across Britain.
These funds helped spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained funding support in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his honor prize money to worthy causes.
In the band won the prize in 1996 for their release the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the band would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
During 2002, artist the artist shared her award across multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," the artist explained to the media.
Two years ago, they contributed their prize money to the youth organization that supported their act, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners M People contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said artist Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
