The star has given the full amount of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports local stages.

The money supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.

In recent years, they contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients the group gave their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued two small stages in that region, by transferring them to local control.
