The star has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's small music venues.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the best record of the previous year.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
The money helped spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing amenities and gear that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The notion that funds from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
When Pulp earned the award in 1996 for their record Different Class, lead singer the singer stated that the act would give their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician she shared her prize between a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Previously, they gave their winnings to the local youth club that developed their group, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group donated their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated singer the singer. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory touched another person's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had rescued several grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the second in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by a national body and supporters who buy "stakes" in the venues.
