The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
He was presented with the award on 16 October as his third album the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
He has opted to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots played in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating over £100k on his live tour to assist thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation helped venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from concerts in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
In they earned the award in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist the singer stated that the band would donate their prize money to the organization the charity.
That year, rapper and singer the artist split her bounty between multiple charities, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to outlets.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their group, in addition to other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients M People donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had rescued two small stages in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in that area and the second in that location were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who buy "shares" in the buildings.
