The star has donated the complete sum of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the UK's small live music spots.
He was given the cheque on mid-October as his new release the album was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his early career.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported venues that were facing imminent closure due to issues caused by flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
In they earned the award in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, frontman Cocker declared that the act would give their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her award between a few good causes, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Previously, the band gave their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year they gave their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust announced it had saved two small stages in that region, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in the city and the second in the city were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "shares" in the properties.
