The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
He was awarded the prize on October 16 as his third album the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots had in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
He also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation helped spaces that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties caused by floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in improving facilities and gear that directly benefitted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his Mercury Prize winnings to good deeds.
When they received the award in the mid-90s for their record the album, vocalist Cocker declared that the group would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, artist the artist divided her prize among a few organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," she explained to the media.
Two years ago, the band gave their winnings to the youth organization that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners they gave their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," said singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had rescued several grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in that area and the other in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the venues.
