The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which works to save the UK's grassroots music venues.
He was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
He has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages had in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
He also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation supported venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from shows in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
In Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their record the album, frontman the singer announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer she shared her prize across multiple charities, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Two years ago, the band contributed their winnings to the community center that supported their act, alongside other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients they contributed their award to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
