The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was given the cheque on October 16 as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising over £100k on his live tour to help 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation supported venues that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
When they earned the trophy in 1996 for their record their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would give their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
That year, rapper and singer she divided her bounty between multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," she told outlets.
Two years ago, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners M People contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked vocalist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had saved two small stages in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in that location were bought under the public acquisition program, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "stakes" in the venues.
