The star has donated the entirety of his £25k award prize money to the MVT, which works to preserve the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
He also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were confronting possible closure due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in modernizing amenities and gear that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The concept that funds from performances in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
He is among several artists to donate his Mercury Prize winnings to good deeds.
When Pulp won the prize in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would give their cash to the organization the charity.
That year, musician the artist split her bounty between multiple charities, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Two years ago, the band gave their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked artist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued several small stages in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the venues.
