The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was declared the top album of the previous year.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds supported spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The idea that money from shows in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has said.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his award winnings to charitable organizations.
When the band received the prize in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her bounty between a few good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," she shared with a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners M People gave their award to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked artist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory affected another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected a couple of small stages in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in that area and the second in the city were purchased under the community ownership program, which is backed by a national body and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
