The artist has given the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the award on 16 October as his new release his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots had in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The money assisted spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues were granted funding support in upgrading facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
He is not the first artist to donate his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp received the prize in 1996 for their album their work, frontman the singer announced that the act would give their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her bounty between several charities, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," the artist explained to a publication.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that supported their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People contributed their award to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had rescued two small stages in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in the city and The Croft in the city were bought under the public acquisition program, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
