The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was presented with the award on 16 October as his new release his work was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages played in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped locations that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in upgrading facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from performances in big venues supports the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when they received the trophy in the mid-90s for their record their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would donate their cash to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, musician she split her bounty between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients they contributed their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said artist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory affected another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued a couple of local spots in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in the city and the second in that location were purchased under the community ownership program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the buildings.
