The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages had in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, generating over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 small stages across Britain.
The money helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges arising from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and gear that helped artists and audiences.
"The idea that money from performances in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when the band received the trophy in the mid-90s for their release their work, vocalist the singer stated that the group would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist shared her prize between a few organizations, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," she explained to a publication.
Previously, the band donated their prize money to the youth organization that developed their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year they contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Recently, the trust revealed it had rescued a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
