The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
He was awarded the award on 16 October as his latest record his work was named the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the performances I played around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also took part, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and audiences.
"The idea that funds from performances in big venues supports the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
The musician is among several artists to donate his honor winnings to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp received the trophy in the mid-90s for their release the album, lead singer the singer stated that the band would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her bounty among multiple organizations, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," she explained to the media.
Two years ago, the band contributed their winnings to the youth organization that nurtured their group, alongside other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," said singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Recently, the trust announced it had protected two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in the city and The Croft in that location were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
