The star has donated the complete sum of his £25k award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
He was awarded the prize on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
Fender also participated, generating over £100k on his live tour to help numerous small stages across Britain.
These funds assisted locations that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in improving facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from concerts in large arenas backs the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
Fender is among several artists to donate his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when the band received the trophy in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman the singer declared that the band would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist she split her prize between several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," she explained to the media.
Previously, they contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners they gave their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was ample," said artist Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success touched the lives of others."
Last week, the trust revealed it had protected several small stages in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and the second in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "shares" in the properties.
