The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which functions to save the UK's independent live music spots.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his latest record his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the shows I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his Mercury Prize prize money to charitable organizations.
When they received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, frontman the singer stated that the act would give their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she shared her bounty between a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the youth organization that supported their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked artist Small. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in the city and the other in the city were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by a national body and supporters who acquire "shares" in the venues.
