The star has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
He has decided to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted locations that were confronting possible closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that revenue from shows in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
Back when the band received the award in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, lead singer the singer declared that the act would donate their cash to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her bounty among a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," she told the media.
Two years ago, they gave their winnings to the community center that supported their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners the group donated their award to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked artist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory touched another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had saved two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in that area and the second in that location were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is supported by a national body and supporters who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
