The star has handed over the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's small concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on mid-October as his new release the album was named the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation assisted spaces that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from performances in big venues backs the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
In they won the award in the year 1996 for their release their work, vocalist the singer declared that the act would donate their prize money to the charity the charity.
That year, artist the artist divided her prize across multiple charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Two years ago, they contributed their winnings to the local youth club that developed their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
And winners that year M People contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT shared it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in that area and the other in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
