The star has handed over the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which functions to preserve the UK's small 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.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also took part, generating over £100k on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
The money helped venues that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and audiences.
"The idea that money from performances in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
He is among several artists to contribute his award prize money to good deeds.
Back when they received the trophy in 1996 for their album the album, frontman the singer stated that the band would contribute their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, musician she shared her award across multiple charities, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the community center that nurtured their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners the group gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked vocalist the singer. "The money was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had rescued a couple of small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and the second in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by the arts council and supporters who purchase "shares" in the venues.
