Sam Fender has donated the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's small music venues.
He was awarded the prize on 16 October as his third album the album was named the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the shows I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in improving facilities and gear that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from concerts in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.
In they received the prize in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, vocalist Cocker stated that the band would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist split her bounty among several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People contributed their prize to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory affected the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected several small stages in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in that area and the other in the city were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is supported by a national body and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
