The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 honor cash to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's small music venues.
Fender was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his new release People Watching was named the best record of the previous year.
He has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots had in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
He also took part, generating over £100k on his live tour to support 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in upgrading facilities and gear that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize winnings to good deeds.
When the band received the award in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, frontman the singer declared that the act would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
That year, musician the artist split her prize across multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, the band contributed their prize money to the local youth club that supported their act, alongside other local music groups.
And winners that year the group contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," stated singer Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of local spots in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in the city and the second in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by a national body and supporters who buy "stakes" in the venues.
