The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's independent live music spots.
He was presented with the prize on October 16 as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots played in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
He also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges caused by water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in improving facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from concerts in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
In they received the award in 1996 for their record their work, vocalist the singer announced that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among several organizations, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," she told the media.
Two years ago, they donated their winnings to the youth organization that supported their group, in addition to other local music groups.
And winners that year M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was ample," said artist the singer. "The money was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had protected several local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in that area and The Croft in that location were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by the arts council and music fans who buy "shares" in the buildings.
