The artist has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's independent music venues.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the past year.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds helped spaces that were facing imminent closure due to issues arising from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in improving amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that money from shows in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
He is not the first artist to contribute his Mercury Prize winnings to good deeds.
When the band earned the award in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, vocalist the singer stated that the group would give their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician she shared her prize among several good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," the artist shared with the media.
Previously, the band contributed their funds to the youth organization that supported their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners they contributed their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Winning was ample," stated artist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched another person's life."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had protected a couple of small stages in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who buy "stakes" in the properties.
