The star has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's small live music spots.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was declared the top album of the previous year.
He has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues played in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped venues that were facing potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize funds to worthy causes.
In they won the award in 1996 for their album the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her award across several organizations, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their group, alongside other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients M People gave their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory affected another person's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in the city and the other in the city were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "stakes" in the venues.
