The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which works to protect the Britain's small music venues.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his latest record his work was named the top album of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising over £100k on his live tour to support 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported spaces that were confronting possible closure due to challenges caused by floods, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to give his honor funds to good deeds.
Back when the band won the prize in the mid-90s for their release their work, vocalist the singer stated that the act would contribute their cash to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her prize between several organizations, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," she told outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year they gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," stated singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning touched the lives of others."
Recently, the trust announced it had rescued a couple of small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The first in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the properties.
