The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which works to protect the United Kingdom's independent concert spaces.
Fender was given the cheque on mid-October as his new release the album was declared the top album of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
He also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds assisted spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The idea that money from performances in big venues helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
He is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
When the band won the trophy in the mid-90s for their record their work, lead singer Cocker declared that the group would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, artist she divided her prize across a few good causes, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," the artist explained to the media.
Previously, the band contributed their winnings to the community center that nurtured their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year they gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said singer the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had saved two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the second in the city were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
