The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's independent music venues.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
He also participated, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to help 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped spaces that were confronting possible closure due to challenges caused by water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues backs the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
When the band won the award in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, frontman the singer declared that the group would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across multiple good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," the artist told the media.
In recent years, the band donated their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners they gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," stated artist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in that area and the second in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
