The star has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his new release the album was named the best record of the past year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages played in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
The money supported locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from concerts in big venues supports the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
He is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize funds to worthy causes.
In Pulp won the award in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, vocalist Cocker announced that the group would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer she split her prize between a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," she told outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the local youth club that developed their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year they contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The first in that area and the other in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who buy "shares" in the properties.
