The star has given the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the UK's independent live music spots.
The star was presented with the award on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was named the best record of the past year.
The musician has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
He also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to give his award funds to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record the album, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would contribute their cash to the charity the charity.
In 2002, musician she divided her prize between multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," she told a publication.
In recent years, they donated their funds to the community center that developed their band, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their prize to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved several grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
