The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
The star was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his third album People Watching was declared the best record of the previous year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds supported spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in upgrading facilities and gear that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The idea that money from shows in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to give his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
When Pulp won the award in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
That year, artist she split her prize between several charities, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners the group contributed their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success touched another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had protected two grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the venues.
