The star has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which functions to preserve the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on mid-October as his third album People Watching was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also participated, raising over £100k on his live tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues were granted funding support in modernizing amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that revenue from shows in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to charitable organizations.
When they won the trophy in the mid-90s for their release their work, frontman the singer announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer she split her bounty across several good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
Two years ago, they contributed their funds to the youth organization that supported their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," said singer Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success touched the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had protected two grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in that location were acquired under the community ownership program, which is supported by a national body and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
