The artist has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the UK's independent live music spots.
The star was presented with the award on October 16 as his latest record his work was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues played in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These venues are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
The donation helped locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to issues arising from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in improving facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when the band received the prize in the year 1996 for their record their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her prize between multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
In recent years, the band gave their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners M People donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated artist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning affected another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved two small stages in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in that area and the other in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the venues.
