The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the MVT, which functions to protect the UK's independent live music spots.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The donation supported venues that were confronting imminent closure due to issues stemming from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained funding support in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that helped artists and audiences.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
He is far from the only musician to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
When they earned the award in the mid-90s for their release the album, vocalist the singer announced that the group would contribute their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award among a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," she explained to the media.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the youth organization that supported their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And winners that year M People gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," stated artist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected a couple of small stages in that region, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in the city were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the venues.
