The star has given the complete sum of his £25k award prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's independent music venues.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages had in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues caused by flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The notion that money from shows in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
When they won the prize in 1996 for their record their work, lead singer the singer stated that the group would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist shared her prize among multiple good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, the band gave their winnings to the youth organization that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
And winners that year the group donated their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said singer Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success touched the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected a couple of local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by a national body and supporters who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
