The star has handed over the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's independent music venues.
He was presented with the award on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, generating over £100k on his live tour to support 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues obtained funding support in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The notion that money from concerts in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to give his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
When they earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the group would donate their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her award between a few charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Two years ago, the band contributed their prize money to the youth organization that supported their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Winning was ample," remarked vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our success touched another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued two grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in the city and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by a national body and supporters who acquire "shares" in the properties.
