The star has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his third album People Watching was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to issues caused by floods, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that revenue from performances in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
In the band received the prize in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist the singer announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, musician the artist shared her bounty across a few organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to outlets.
Two years ago, they gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners they gave their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is supported by a national body and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
