The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to help numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds helped locations that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in improving facilities and gear that helped musicians and fans.
"The idea that funds from performances in major spaces supports the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
He is among several artists to donate his award funds to good deeds.
Back when Pulp won the prize in 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would give their cash to the charity the charity.
In 2002, artist she divided her prize between a few organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," she explained to the media.
Previously, the band contributed their winnings to the local youth club that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners M People contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," stated artist Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued several grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the second in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who purchase "shares" in the venues.
