The star has given the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the UK's grassroots music venues.
The star was given the cheque on October 16 as his third album the album was named the top album of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to support thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
The donation assisted venues that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations received funding support in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp earned the trophy in 1996 for their release the album, frontman the singer stated that the group would donate their winnings to the charity the charity.
During 2002, musician the artist divided her bounty between multiple organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," the artist told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning affected another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had saved several local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in that area and the other in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the venues.
