The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's independent concert spaces.
He was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release the album was declared the best record of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues played in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted locations that were facing possible closure due to challenges caused by water damage, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in improving facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his award funds to good deeds.
Back when Pulp earned the award in 1996 for their album the album, lead singer the singer announced that the act would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her prize across a few charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Previously, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that developed their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners they donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated singer the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had protected two grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in the city and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
