The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to preserve the Britain's small concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages had in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
The money supported spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to issues stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in improving facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues supports the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his award funds to good deeds.
In Pulp won the award in 1996 for their release the album, lead singer the singer announced that the group would donate their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her prize among several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, the band donated their prize money to the community center that supported their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our success touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in the city and the other in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
