The star has handed over the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was given the cheque on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots played in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted locations that were facing imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations received monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that revenue from shows in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to donate his honor funds to worthy causes.
When Pulp earned the prize in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she split her award across multiple good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," she told the media.
In recent years, they contributed their prize money to the youth organization that developed their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was ample," said singer Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the other in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
