The star has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the Music Venues Trust, which works to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
The star was awarded the prize on October 16 as his new release People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
The money assisted locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted funding support in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that helped musicians and fans.
"The idea that money from concerts in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to donate his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
In the band earned the award in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, lead singer the singer declared that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her award between a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Two years ago, the band contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their act, in addition to other local music groups.
And winners that year the group contributed their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," said singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had protected two local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the second in Bristol were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who buy "stakes" in the properties.
