The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was presented with the prize on October 16 as his third album People Watching was named the best record of the past year.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous local spots across Britain.
These funds assisted locations that were facing possible closure due to difficulties caused by floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
Back when they earned the award in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, vocalist the singer announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
That year, musician the artist split her bounty across several charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the youth organization that developed their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
