The artist has given the full amount of his £25k award cash to the MVT, which operates to save the United Kingdom's small music venues.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
He also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 small stages across the UK.
The donation supported spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in improving facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that revenue from concerts in big venues supports the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to give his honor funds to worthy causes.
When the band won the award in 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the group would give their cash to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," she told a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their winnings to the community center that nurtured their band, alongside other local music groups.
And winners that year they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," stated artist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched the lives of others."
Recently, the trust announced it had saved a couple of small stages in that region, by transferring them to local control.
The first in that area and The Croft in that location were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by a national body and music fans who buy "shares" in the properties.
