The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots played in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The money helped locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues stemming from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in improving facilities and technical equipment that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize prize money to charitable organizations.
When Pulp earned the award in the mid-90s for their record their work, lead singer the singer declared that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician the artist divided her award among multiple charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," the artist explained to the media.
Two years ago, they contributed their funds to the community center that developed their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated artist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success affected the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of small stages in that region, by placing them under local control.
One venue in that area and The Croft in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
