The artist has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the UK's small music venues.
The star was presented with the award on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues stemming from water damage, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The notion that revenue from shows in large arenas supports the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to give his award winnings to good deeds.
When they earned the trophy in the year 1996 for their release the album, frontman Cocker announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, artist the artist split her prize among a few good causes, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Previously, they gave their funds to the community center that developed their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients M People contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had saved two local spots in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the other in that location were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
