The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the UK's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album the album was named the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages played in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported spaces that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations received financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
In Pulp earned the trophy in 1996 for their record the album, vocalist the singer announced that the group would give their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, artist the artist split her award between multiple organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," the artist told a publication.
Previously, they gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked vocalist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected several local spots in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
