The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his new release his work was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
He has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
He also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported locations that were dealing with possible closure due to issues stemming from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from concerts in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
He is far from the only musician to give his award funds to good deeds.
In the band won the prize in the year 1996 for their album their work, frontman the singer declared that the group would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist shared her bounty between several organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," the artist explained to the media.
Previously, they gave their prize money to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners they donated their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked singer Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had protected a couple of small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in the city and the second in that location were purchased under the community ownership program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
