The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was given the award on 16 October as his third album his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function local spots played in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I did around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous small stages across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The concept that funds from shows in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
Fender is among several artists to give his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when the band won the prize in 1996 for their album their work, lead singer the singer stated that the band would give their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
That year, musician she split her bounty among multiple charities, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," the artist explained to a publication.
Two years ago, the band gave their funds to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Winning was ample," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched another person's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had saved several local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
