The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the Music Venues Trust, which works to preserve the Britain's small music venues.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I played around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous small stages across Britain.
The donation helped spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained funding support in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to donate his award funds to worthy causes.
When they received the award in 1996 for their release Different Class, frontman Cocker announced that the act would donate their cash to the charity War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her prize between a few good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
Two years ago, the band contributed their prize money to the youth organization that developed their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked artist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success touched another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the other in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the properties.
