The star has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which works to protect the UK's small live music spots.
He was presented with the prize on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the best record of the past year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in improving amenities and gear that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that money from concerts in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
When they won the award in 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist the singer stated that the group would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician she shared her award between a few organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
In recent years, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that developed their group, alongside other local music groups.
And 1994 winners M People contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was ample," remarked artist the singer. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had rescued several local spots in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by a national body and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
