The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his latest record his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous small stages across Britain.
The donation supported locations that were confronting possible closure due to issues arising from water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in upgrading facilities and gear that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when the band won the prize in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, frontman the singer announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across a few organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked updated gear," she explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the community center that developed their group, alongside other local music groups.
Also winners that year M People contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"The victory was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success touched another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued two grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the other in that location were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
