The star has given the entirety of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
The star was presented with the award on October 16 as his third album People Watching was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots had in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These venues are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
The money assisted venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues received monetary aid in improving facilities and technical equipment that helped musicians and fans.
"The idea that money from performances in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
Fender is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
Back when they received the award in the year 1996 for their release the album, lead singer the singer declared that the group would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician she split her bounty among several charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
In recent years, they contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group donated their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was ample," said singer Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had rescued several local spots in that region, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the venues.
