The star has donated the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the award on October 16 as his latest record the album was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
He also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
These funds helped locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues stemming from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained funding support in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
He is among several artists to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.
Back when the band received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the band would give their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician the artist split her prize among several good causes, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," the artist shared with the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year they gave their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Last week, the trust announced it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
The first in that area and The Croft in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
