The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the MVT, which works to save the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
The star was given the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots had in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
The donation supported spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The idea that revenue from shows in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to donate his award prize money to worthy causes.
Back when they won the award in 1996 for their album the album, lead singer the singer announced that the band would contribute their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician she split her bounty between a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the community center that developed their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year they gave their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued two local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the second in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by a national body and supporters who buy "shares" in the venues.
