The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to save the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the award on mid-October as his third album his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The concept that money from concerts in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize winnings to worthy causes.

Additionally 1994 winners they contributed their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," said singer Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had saved two local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in the city and the second in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by a national body and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
