The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k award winnings to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's small live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds supported spaces that were facing imminent closure due to issues stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations were granted funding support in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The notion that revenue from shows in big venues backs the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
He is not the first artist to give his award prize money to charitable organizations.
In Pulp received the trophy in the year 1996 for their release the album, vocalist Cocker announced that the act would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across several organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," she explained to a publication.
In recent years, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked vocalist Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the trust revealed it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the second in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
