The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his third album the album was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function small stages had in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing amenities and gear that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from shows in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor funds to good deeds.
When they won the prize in 1996 for their record the album, frontman the singer declared that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize among several good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Previously, the band donated their funds to the community center that supported their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year the group donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked vocalist the singer. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had protected two grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
