The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was awarded the prize on mid-October as his new release his work was named the best record of the previous year.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
The donation supported spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
He is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when they won the award in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman the singer declared that the group would contribute their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award among several good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," the artist explained to a publication.
Two years ago, they gave their winnings to the youth organization that supported their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners M People donated their award to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," stated singer Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the buildings.
