The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was presented with the award on October 16 as his third album his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
These funds helped venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The notion that revenue from performances in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is among several artists to give his honor funds to worthy causes.

Additionally winners that year they gave their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had protected several local spots in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in the city and the other in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
