The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's independent concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album People Watching was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds assisted spaces that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues received funding support in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The idea that revenue from performances in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
He is not the first artist to give his award prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band won the trophy in the mid-90s for their record their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would give their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician the artist split her prize between multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," she shared with outlets.
Two years ago, the band donated their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their act, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," stated artist Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our success touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had rescued a couple of small stages in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the properties.
