The star has donated the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his new release People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots played in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also took part, raising over £100k on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
These funds helped locations that were dealing with possible closure due to issues caused by flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving infrastructure and gear that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
When the band won the award in 1996 for their record the album, frontman Cocker announced that the act would donate their cash to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist split her award across a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Previously, the band donated their funds to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients M People gave their winnings to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," said vocalist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had rescued a couple of local spots in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The first in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "shares" in the venues.
