The star has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the Music Venues Trust, which works to save the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function local spots played in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also joined in, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to help thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The money assisted spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues stemming from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues received funding support in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in big venues backs the local stages, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
In the band earned the award in 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the group would contribute their cash to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her prize between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients M People donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in the city and the other in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
