The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album People Watching was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
He also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation supported locations that were facing potential shutdown due to issues caused by flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and audiences.
"The idea that funds from shows in major spaces supports the local stages, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
The musician is among several artists to donate his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
When the band received the award in 1996 for their release the album, lead singer the singer announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist divided her award between a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the community center that nurtured their group, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners they gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated vocalist Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had protected several local spots in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
