The star has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the Music Venues Trust, which works to preserve the UK's small concert spaces.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the top album of the past year.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the essential function small stages played in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
He also took part, raising over £100k on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
The money supported locations that were facing possible closure due to challenges caused by flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations received funding support in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from shows in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize funds to worthy causes.
Back when they received the prize in 1996 for their record the album, lead singer the singer declared that the group would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she divided her prize among several good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," she shared with the media.
Previously, they donated their winnings to the local youth club that developed their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners they contributed their award to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in that area and the second in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
