The youth club famously featured on the sleeve of The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead album.
Fans of the '80s Manchester indie band often visit the building to pay tribute to the group.
However, the owners of the club are currently looking for £1 million to repair the listed building.
The donated cash will be used to insulate the roof and carry out work on the ceiling.
Salford Lads Club was officially opened in 1904 by Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts.
Morrissey had initially asked for his donation to be kept secret, but was persuaded to go public after being told it would create more publicity for the restoration campaign.
