The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's independent live music spots.
He was given the prize on mid-October as his third album the album was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved 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," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted locations that were confronting possible closure due to issues caused by flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in improving facilities and gear that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The idea that money from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
The musician is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
In they earned the trophy in 1996 for their album the album, frontman the singer declared that the group would contribute their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer she split her award between a few organizations, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," she explained to outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners they donated their award to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said artist Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had saved a couple of small stages in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in the city and The Croft in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
