The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 honor cash to the MVT, which operates to save the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
The star was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the past year.
He has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, generating over £100k on his live tour to help 38 local spots across the UK.
The donation helped venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues obtained funding support in modernizing amenities and gear that helped musicians and fans.
"The notion that funds from concerts in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
When Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their record their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would donate their cash to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her award between multiple organizations, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their winnings to the youth organization that nurtured their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People donated their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"The victory was ample," stated artist the singer. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our success touched the lives of others."
Last week, the trust shared it had protected two local spots in that region, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
