The star has given the complete sum of his £25k award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the Britain's small live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was named the best record of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
These funds helped spaces that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in improving amenities and gear that helped artists and fans.
"The notion that revenue from shows in big venues helps the local stages, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
When the band received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would contribute their cash to the charity War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her prize across multiple charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Previously, they contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People donated their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked singer Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had rescued several local spots in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
