The artist has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the Britain's independent music venues.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his third album his work was named the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that helped artists and fans.
"The notion that money from concerts in big venues backs the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is not the first artist to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp won the prize in 1996 for their album the album, lead singer the singer announced that the group would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist split her prize between multiple good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," she explained to a publication.
Two years ago, they donated their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, alongside other local music groups.
And 1994 winners the group donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said vocalist Small. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning touched the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT shared it had saved two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who buy "shares" in the properties.
