The artist has given the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's small live music spots.
Fender was presented with the award on 16 October as his latest record his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function small stages had in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
He also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 small stages across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in modernizing infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
He is far from the only musician to give his Mercury Prize winnings to good deeds.
In Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their record the album, frontman the singer announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the charity the charity.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize among a few organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," she shared with outlets.
In recent years, they contributed their funds to the community center that supported their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients the group donated their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," said singer Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our success touched another person's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had rescued several small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in the city and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by a national body and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
