The star has given the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was presented with the award on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I played around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The money supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to issues stemming from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and audiences.
"The notion that funds from shows in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to good deeds.
When the band won the prize in the year 1996 for their record the album, lead singer Cocker stated that the group would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her award among a few charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that developed their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year the group gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"The victory was ample," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust shared it had rescued several small stages in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
