The star has donated the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the award on 16 October as his new release the album was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots had in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from shows in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to worthy causes.
When they received the trophy in 1996 for their release the album, vocalist Cocker stated that the band would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her prize among a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," the artist told outlets.
In recent years, the band donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked vocalist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved a couple of local spots in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
