The star has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his third album People Watching was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the performances I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported spaces that were facing imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and fans.
"The concept that revenue from performances in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
When Pulp earned the award in 1996 for their record their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would contribute their cash to the charity the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer she shared her prize among several charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," the artist shared with a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the local youth club that supported their group, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked singer Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved several local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership program, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "shares" in the venues.
