The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was given the award on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 local spots across Britain.
The donation helped locations that were dealing with possible closure due to issues arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from concerts in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to give his award funds to worthy causes.
In they received the trophy in the mid-90s for their release their work, frontman Cocker stated that the group would donate their winnings to the organization the charity.
That year, musician the artist divided her award between several organizations, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," she shared with the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the youth organization that developed their band, as well as other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients they donated their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," stated artist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had rescued two small stages in that region, by placing them under local control.
The first in the city and the second in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
