The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the Britain's small music venues.
He was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was named the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
He also participated, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from performances in large arenas backs the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
When Pulp won the prize in the mid-90s for their record their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her prize across multiple good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," the artist shared with a publication.
Two years ago, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their group, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"The victory was ample," stated singer the singer. "The money was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success touched the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in the city and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
