The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the UK's independent music venues.
The star was awarded the prize on mid-October as his latest record his work was named the best record of the past year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped locations that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues received financial assistance in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to give his honor prize money to worthy causes.
In they received the trophy in 1996 for their album their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite divided her award across multiple organizations, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Previously, they donated their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked singer the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the trust announced it had saved several small stages in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by a national body and supporters who acquire "shares" in the properties.
