The star has donated the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to save the Britain's small music venues.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages had in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The money assisted venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges caused by flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations received monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his honor prize money to good deeds.
When the band won the prize in the mid-90s for their record the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her award across multiple charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," she explained to the media.
Two years ago, the band donated their funds to the youth organization that developed their group, in addition to other local music groups.
Also winners that year the group gave their winnings to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The money was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning affected another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in the city and The Croft in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
