The artist has given the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his third album his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots played in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted locations that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges caused by flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in modernizing amenities and gear that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The idea that funds from performances in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
He is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize funds to worthy causes.
Back when they received the prize in the mid-90s for their release their work, lead singer the singer stated that the group would contribute their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite split her prize among several good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Previously, the band gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their award to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked artist the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Last week, the trust shared it had protected a couple of local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the other in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the properties.
