The star has given the full amount of his £25k honor winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also participated, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues received monetary aid in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from shows in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to good deeds.
When the band won the award in 1996 for their release their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
During 2002, artist she shared her bounty between multiple good causes, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," the artist told outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners they gave their award to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"Winning was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the other in the city were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
