The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to preserve the Britain's small live music spots.
The star was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
These funds supported locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues were granted funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from shows in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his award prize money to worthy causes.
When Pulp received the trophy in 1996 for their record their work, frontman Cocker declared that the group would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her bounty between multiple good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," the artist told the media.
Previously, they gave their funds to the community center that developed their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners the group contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated singer Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had rescued several grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The first in that area and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "shares" in the venues.
