The star has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which operates to protect the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots had in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
The donation supported locations that were facing possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in upgrading facilities and gear that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The concept that funds from shows in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize winnings to good deeds.
Back when Pulp won the award in 1996 for their record the album, vocalist the singer announced that the group would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize between several good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," she told the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners M People contributed their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," said vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected another person's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had saved two local spots in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in the city and the second in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
