The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's small live music spots.
He was given the award on mid-October as his third album the album was named the top album of the previous year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages played in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
He also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds assisted venues that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained funding support in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to worthy causes.
In the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, vocalist the singer declared that the act would contribute their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her bounty between a few charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," the artist shared with the media.
In recent years, the band donated their funds to the youth organization that supported their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Also winners that year the group gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated singer Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had saved two grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is funded by a national body and music fans who buy "shares" in the properties.
