The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots music venues.
Fender was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his third album the album was named the best record of the previous year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the performances I did around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The money supported spaces that were facing possible closure due to challenges caused by flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
Back when they earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would give their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite split her bounty across multiple organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," the artist shared with a publication.
Previously, they donated their winnings to the local youth club that supported their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said singer the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the venues.
