The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was presented with the award on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the past year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his Mercury Prize winnings to good deeds.
Back when they won the trophy in the mid-90s for their album the album, frontman Cocker declared that the act would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician she shared her award across multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," she told outlets.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the local youth club that developed their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group donated their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved several small stages in that region, by placing them under local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in the city were bought under the public acquisition program, which is funded by a national body and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
