The star has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's independent music venues.
Fender was presented with the award on mid-October as his latest record his work was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages had in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam 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 dealing with possible closure due to difficulties caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations received funding support in improving facilities and technical equipment that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from concerts in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
He is not the first artist to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to charitable organizations.
In Pulp earned the trophy in 1996 for their release their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would donate their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her prize among multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, they donated their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners M People gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Winning was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had rescued several grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in that area and the second in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by a national body and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
