The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was awarded the award on mid-October as his third album his work was named the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function small stages played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were confronting possible closure due to issues arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from shows in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp won the award in the year 1996 for their album their work, frontman the singer declared that the act would donate their prize money to the organization the charity.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite shared her prize across several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," the artist told the media.
Previously, the band contributed their prize money to the community center that developed their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked artist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the trust shared it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
