The star has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's small concert spaces.
The star was given the award on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These venues are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds assisted locations that were confronting possible closure due to challenges caused by floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and fans.
"The notion that money from shows in major spaces helps the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
In Pulp won the award in 1996 for their record their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her prize across a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," the artist told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that supported their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients M People donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected two grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The first in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
