The star has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the essential function small stages had in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
He also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported spaces that were facing imminent closure due to issues stemming from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations received funding support in modernizing amenities and gear that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that funds from shows in major spaces helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to contribute his honor funds to charitable organizations.
In the band earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record their work, frontman Cocker stated that the group would contribute their winnings to the charity the charity.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across a few organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," the artist told the media.
Two years ago, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners the group gave their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said singer Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had protected a couple of small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by the arts council and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
