The star has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the trust for venues, which works to save the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his new release his work was named the top album of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Fender also joined in, generating over £100k on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across the UK.
These funds helped locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained funding support in improving facilities and gear that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from concerts in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to good deeds.
When they received the trophy in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would donate their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist shared her prize across a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," the artist explained to outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in the city and the second in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
