The star has donated the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which operates to protect the Britain's small music venues.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his third album the album was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, raising over £100k on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across the UK.
The money supported venues that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The idea that money from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
In Pulp earned the prize in 1996 for their record their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist she divided her award among multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Previously, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their act, alongside other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners the group donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was ample," remarked artist Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in the city and the second in the city were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "shares" in the properties.
