The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to save the United Kingdom's small music venues.
He was awarded the prize on October 16 as his new release the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages played in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The money assisted venues that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in modernizing infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to donate his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.

Additionally 1994 winners they contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the condition.
"The victory was ample," remarked artist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had saved several grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the properties.
