The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's small concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on mid-October as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function small stages had in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds helped spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues received funding support in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The idea that funds from shows in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his honor winnings to worthy causes.
In they received the award in the year 1996 for their release their work, frontman Cocker stated that the band would donate their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, artist she shared her prize across multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the community center that nurtured their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year M People contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," said singer Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by a national body and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the venues.
