The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 honor winnings to the MVT, which functions to preserve the UK's small concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function small stages played in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported spaces that were confronting possible closure due to issues caused by flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in modernizing facilities and gear that helped performers and audiences.
"The notion that money from shows in large arenas backs the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band won the trophy in 1996 for their release their work, lead singer Cocker announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, artist the artist divided her prize among a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Two years ago, they gave their prize money to the community center that supported their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients they donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked singer Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved two small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
