The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25k award cash to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to preserve the Britain's small concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his new release his work was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
He has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages played in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the shows I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 local spots across Britain.
These funds helped venues that were dealing with possible closure due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in big venues supports the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to give his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when they won the prize in 1996 for their album their work, frontman the singer declared that the band would contribute their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her prize between several good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their band, alongside other local music groups.
Also winners that year they contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," stated singer the singer. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory affected another person's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in that area and The Croft in the city were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "shares" in the properties.
