The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor winnings to the MVT, which works to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
The money supported venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in improving facilities and gear that helped musicians and audiences.
"The concept that funds from performances in major spaces backs the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
Back when they earned the trophy in 1996 for their album their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would give their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist she split her prize among multiple charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," the artist shared with outlets.
Previously, the band donated their winnings to the community center that developed their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners they contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," said artist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected several local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the venues.
