The star has donated the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the UK's small concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on October 16 as his third album People Watching was declared the best record of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages played in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also participated, generating over £100k on his recent tour to support thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received funding support in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award prize money to good deeds.
When Pulp earned the trophy in 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would donate their prize money to the charity the charity.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite shared her bounty between several charities, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," she told outlets.
Previously, they contributed their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was ample," remarked vocalist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and the second in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
