The artist has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's independent concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the prize on October 16 as his third album the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues played in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues obtained funding support in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The concept that funds from performances in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
Back when they won the prize in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman Cocker announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the organization War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite divided her award among several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," she explained to outlets.
Previously, they gave their prize money to the youth organization that supported their band, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," said artist Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in that area and The Croft in that location were bought under the public acquisition program, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
