The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his latest record the album was named the best record of the past year.
He has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part small stages played in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped locations that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in improving facilities and gear that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is among several artists to donate his award prize money to good deeds.
In Pulp received the trophy in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist the singer stated that the band would donate their winnings to the charity War Child.
During 2002, musician she shared her award among several charities, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," the artist told a publication.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year they gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked artist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success touched another person's life."
Recently, the trust revealed it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in that location were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
