The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on mid-October as his third album People Watching was named the top album of the past year.
He has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues received financial assistance in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from performances in big venues helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to give his honor prize money to worthy causes.
