The star has given the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to preserve the UK's independent live music spots.
Fender was presented with the award on mid-October as his third album his work was named the best record of the previous year.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported locations that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations received monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from performances in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his honor prize money to worthy causes.
In the band won the prize in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would donate their prize money to the organization the charity.

Previously, they contributed their funds to the youth organization that supported their group, as well as other local music groups.
Also winners that year they gave their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
