The star has donated the complete sum of his £25k honor winnings to the MVT, which operates to protect the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds assisted venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from water damage, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The concept that funds from performances in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his award winnings to charitable organizations.
In they received the trophy in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the act would contribute their prize money to the organization the charity.

Additionally 1994 winners the group donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning touched the lives of others."
Recently, the trust shared it had protected a couple of local spots in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in the city and the other in the city were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
