The star has handed over the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which functions to save the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
The musician has opted to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted locations that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in improving facilities and gear that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from performances in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when they received the award in 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer the singer announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the charity the charity.
During 2002, artist she divided her bounty between several organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a grand to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," the artist explained to the media.
In recent years, the band gave their prize money to the local youth club that supported their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners the group gave their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," said singer the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had saved a couple of local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by a national body and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
