The star has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the Britain's small live music spots.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has decided to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots played in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous local spots across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were facing possible closure due to issues arising from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in improving amenities and gear that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The concept that money from concerts in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his Mercury Prize winnings to good deeds.
When they earned the award in the mid-90s for their release their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would give their cash to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her prize between several good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Previously, the band gave their funds to the youth organization that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year the group contributed their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Winning was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved two local spots in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
The first in Southampton and the other in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
