The star has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the UK's independent live music spots.
He was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his new release his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
He has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part local spots played in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives 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 recent tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and audiences.

He is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to good deeds.
When the band earned the award in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would give their cash to the charity the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her bounty among several charities, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," the artist told outlets.
In recent years, they donated their prize money to the youth organization that supported their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," said singer Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had saved several local spots in that region, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in that area and the second in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
