The star has given the complete sum of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
He was presented with the prize on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role grassroots venues played in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges caused by flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in modernizing amenities and gear that helped musicians and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from shows in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to good deeds.
When the band received the award in 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman the singer stated that the band would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her award between a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Previously, the band gave their winnings to the local youth club that supported their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners they contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning affected another person's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had protected several local spots in that region, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
