The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was awarded the prize on 16 October as his third album the album was named the top album of the last 12 months.
He has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The notion that money from concerts in big venues supports the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
When Pulp won the award in the mid-90s for their album the album, frontman the singer declared that the group would give their cash to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, musician she shared her bounty across multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
Two years ago, they gave their funds to the local youth club that supported their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," said singer Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
