The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his third album his work was named the top album of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots had in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped spaces that were facing possible closure due to challenges arising from water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues obtained funding support in improving infrastructure and gear that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from shows in big venues supports the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his Mercury Prize prize money to charitable organizations.
In they won the award in 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would give their winnings to the organization the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her award between several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the community center that developed their band, alongside other local music groups.
Also winners that year the group donated their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success affected the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The first in Southampton and the other in that location were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
