The star has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the award on mid-October as his third album the album was named the top album of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, generating over £100k on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
These funds supported locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that money from concerts in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
He is among several artists to donate his award funds to good deeds.
When the band won the trophy in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist the singer announced that the band would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist split her bounty across several organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
Two years ago, the band donated their funds to the community center that supported their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners the group gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked singer Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had saved several small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership program, which is funded by a national body and music fans who purchase "shares" in the properties.
