The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the United Kingdom's independent concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his third album the album was chosen as the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The idea that money from concerts in major spaces helps the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
In the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their release their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her bounty across a few charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required updated gear," the artist told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners the group donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," said singer the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of local spots in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the second in that location were acquired under the community ownership program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the venues.
