The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25k award winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to save the UK's grassroots music venues.
He was awarded the award on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, raising over £100k on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped locations that were facing imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues received funding support in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from concerts in major spaces supports the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
He is not the first artist to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
In Pulp earned the trophy in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist she shared her prize across a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their group, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year they donated their award to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Winning was ample," stated vocalist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had protected two grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the other in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by the arts council and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
