The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which functions to save the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was given the cheque on October 16 as his latest record the album was declared the best record of the past year.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots had in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to issues arising from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues received monetary aid in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from shows in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
He is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
In Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their album the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the band would donate their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her bounty between multiple good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," the artist told outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the community center that supported their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year the group donated their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory affected another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had saved two local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the second in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition program, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "shares" in the buildings.
