The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
He was given the award on 16 October as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were facing imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from shows in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award prize money to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp earned the award in the year 1996 for their release the album, frontman Cocker announced that the group would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist she split her bounty among a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Two years ago, the band gave their prize money to the youth organization that developed their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"The victory was ample," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected two local spots in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the properties.
