The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the UK's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his latest record his work was named the best record of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role small stages played in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, raising over £100k on his recent tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations received monetary aid in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from performances in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor winnings to good deeds.
In the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their record the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite split her prize across multiple good causes, including 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 trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," the artist explained to the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the youth organization that developed their act, as well as other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners they gave their prize to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked singer the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in the city and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
