The artist has donated the entirety of his £25,000 award cash to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the past year.
He has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help numerous small stages across the UK.
The donation helped spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues caused by floods, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and audiences.
"The idea that funds from concerts in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to give his honor funds to good deeds.
When the band won the award in 1996 for their record the album, lead singer the singer declared that the act would give their prize money to the charity the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer she shared her bounty between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the community center that developed their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients they gave their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had protected two grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the second in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by a national body and supporters who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
