The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize cash to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
The star was given the prize on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots played in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were confronting possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The notion that money from shows in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is among several artists to give his honor funds to good deeds.
When Pulp won the trophy in the mid-90s for their album their work, lead singer Cocker stated that the group would donate their prize money to the organization the charity.
That year, musician she shared her prize across multiple organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the youth organization that developed their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners the group donated their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved two grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in that area and the other in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
