The star has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
The star was awarded the award on mid-October as his third album the album was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across the UK.
The donation assisted spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted funding support in modernizing amenities and gear that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The concept that revenue from shows in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
He is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
In they earned the award in 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," the artist told outlets.
Previously, the band gave their winnings to the local youth club that developed their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners they donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated vocalist Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our success impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT shared it had rescued a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who purchase "shares" in the venues.
