The star has given the complete sum of his £25k award prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to preserve the Britain's small music venues.
The star was given the award on mid-October as his third album People Watching was named the best record of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
The money supported venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges caused by floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations obtained funding support in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from concerts in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
He is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
In the band won the trophy in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her bounty across several good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners the group gave their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," stated artist Small. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success touched the lives of others."
Last week, the trust revealed it had protected two small stages in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the second in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by a national body and supporters who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
