The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the MVT, which works to save the United Kingdom's independent concert spaces.
He was awarded the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the past year.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 small stages across the UK.
The donation assisted spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from performances in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.
In Pulp earned the prize in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite shared her bounty between several charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners M People donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked artist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had protected several grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in that area and the second in the city were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by a national body and supporters who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
