The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on 16 October as his latest record his work was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from shows in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," the star has said.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize winnings to good deeds.
When the band earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her bounty among multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," the artist shared with a publication.
In recent years, the band gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners M People gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT shared it had protected several local spots in that region, by placing them under local control.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
