The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was named the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots played in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were dealing with possible closure due to issues caused by water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from performances in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his Mercury Prize winnings to worthy causes.
When they won the award in the year 1996 for their album the album, lead singer Cocker declared that the group would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist the artist divided her prize between a few charities, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a grand to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," the artist explained to the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the community center that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," said vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had protected several small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in the city and the second in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and music fans who purchase "shares" in the properties.
