The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to save the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
He also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in improving infrastructure and gear that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to give his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band earned the award in the mid-90s for their record the album, vocalist Cocker announced that the act would donate their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her award between a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," she told outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the youth organization that developed their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said artist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory affected the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT announced it had rescued two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in the city and the second in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
