The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his new release People Watching was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
He also took part, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds supported spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to issues caused by floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in improving facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from concerts in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to give his award funds to good deeds.
Back when Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their release the album, lead singer Cocker declared that the band would give their cash to the organization the charity.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award among multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Two years ago, they donated their winnings to the community center that nurtured their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was ample," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had rescued a couple of small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and music fans who purchase "shares" in the venues.
