The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to save the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
The star was presented with the prize on October 16 as his latest record his work was named the outstanding release of the past year.
He has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising over £100k on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
The donation supported venues that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues received funding support in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from shows in big venues helps the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
Back when they earned the award in the year 1996 for their release their work, frontman Cocker announced that the group would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
During 2002, artist the artist divided her award between multiple organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," she told the media.
In recent years, they donated their prize money to the youth organization that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
And winners that year the group contributed their prize to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," stated artist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had saved several grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in that area and the second in that location were bought under the public acquisition program, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
