The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor cash to the MVT, which works to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
The star was presented with the prize on mid-October as his new release the album was named the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
These funds helped spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from shows in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is among several artists to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when they won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would give their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician she split her award between a few good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," she explained to outlets.
Previously, the band donated their prize money to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other local music groups.
Also winners that year they donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked vocalist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved two grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the other in the city were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the properties.
