The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's small music venues.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his new release People Watching was declared the top album of the past year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots played in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces helps the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.
When they earned the award in the year 1996 for their record their work, lead singer Cocker announced that the band would donate their winnings to the charity the charity.
In 2002, musician the artist divided her award across a few good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," she explained to a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the youth organization that nurtured their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"Winning was ample," said singer Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Recently, the trust shared it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in that area and The Croft in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who acquire "shares" in the properties.
