The artist has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the Britain's grassroots music venues.
He was awarded the award on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots had in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
Fender also joined in, raising over £100k on his live tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
These funds helped spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his honor prize money to good deeds.
When Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their record the album, lead singer the singer declared that the group would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Two years ago, they contributed their prize money to the local youth club that developed their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group contributed their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked singer Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had rescued two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by a national body and supporters who buy "shares" in the properties.
