The star has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which works to protect the Britain's independent music venues.
He was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his new release the album was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
He has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
He also took part, generating over £100k on his recent tour to support numerous local spots across the UK.
The money supported venues that were facing possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his honor prize money to worthy causes.
When Pulp received the trophy in 1996 for their album the album, vocalist the singer declared that the act would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, musician the artist shared her award across a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
Two years ago, the band donated their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients the group gave their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved two local spots in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in the city and the other in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
