The star has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the UK's small music venues.
He was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 local spots across Britain.
The money assisted venues that were dealing with possible closure due to issues stemming from floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from performances in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to give his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when Pulp earned the prize in 1996 for their release Different Class, frontman Cocker announced that the act would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite divided her award between multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Two years ago, they gave their winnings to the youth organization that developed their act, as well as other local music groups.
Also winners that year M People gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated vocalist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in the city and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
