The artist has handed over the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his latest record the album was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
The money assisted spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations received funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The concept that funds from concerts in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his honor funds to worthy causes.
When the band won the award in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist Cocker stated that the group would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite divided her prize among multiple good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Previously, the band donated their funds to the community center that nurtured their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group donated their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had saved two grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
