The artist has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to save the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his new release his work was named the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The money supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that revenue from performances in big venues supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize prize money to charitable organizations.
In Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician she split her award among several good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a grand to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
In recent years, they gave their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other local music groups.
And 1994 winners the group donated their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," said vocalist Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued several local spots in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in the city and the other in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who acquire "shares" in the venues.
