The artist has given the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the Britain's small live music spots.
The star was presented with the prize on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
The money helped spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The notion that revenue from performances in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his award winnings to charitable organizations.
In Pulp earned the award in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
In 2002, musician she split her bounty across a few charities, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," she told a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the community center that supported their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Winning was ample," said singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had rescued two grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the other in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
