The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds helped locations that were facing imminent closure due to issues stemming from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations received financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas supports the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.
Back when they received the award in the mid-90s for their album the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize across multiple good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Two years ago, they gave their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners M People contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated singer Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had saved several grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
