The artist has donated the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the MVT, which functions to preserve the UK's grassroots music venues.
He was given the award on 16 October as his new release People Watching was declared the best record of the previous year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
The money supported spaces that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in improving amenities and gear that helped musicians and fans.
"The idea that funds from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize winnings to worthy causes.
In they received the prize in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, lead singer Cocker announced that the group would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her bounty across multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," she told outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had protected two local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
