The artist has handed over the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which works to save the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
The star was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his latest record his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous small stages across the UK.
These funds helped venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The notion that money from shows in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.

"Winning was ample," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory affected the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had protected two local spots in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in the city and the second in that location were purchased under the community ownership program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
