The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was given the award on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have shut down – about 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds helped spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to issues caused by flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues received financial assistance in upgrading facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from shows in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his honor funds to good deeds.
When Pulp earned the award in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her bounty among several good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
In recent years, the band donated their winnings to the community center that developed their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Also winners that year they donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved two local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by a national body and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
