The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to save the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his latest record his work was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages played in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
The money supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and gear that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that money from shows in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his award funds to good deeds.
When they won the trophy in 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman the singer stated that the band would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist divided her bounty among several charities, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," she shared with the media.
Previously, they donated their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked artist Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had protected two grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
