The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 honor winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the Britain's small concert spaces.
The star was given the cheque on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
He has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were dealing with possible closure due to issues arising from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from shows in big venues helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, vocalist the singer announced that the band would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
That year, musician the artist divided her award across several organizations, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Previously, the band contributed their funds to the community center that supported their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners they gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," stated artist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success touched another person's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had saved two grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by a national body and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
