The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which works to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
He was given the award on 16 October as his third album the album was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations received funding support in improving infrastructure and gear that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that money from performances in major spaces backs the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to give his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
When Pulp won the prize in 1996 for their release their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist she divided her bounty across several good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Two years ago, the band gave their prize money to the community center that nurtured their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year they gave their prize to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the disease.
"The victory was ample," said vocalist the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued several local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in that location were bought under the public acquisition program, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
