The star has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages played in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The concept that money from concerts in major spaces backs the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
Fender is among several artists to donate his award prize money to charitable organizations.
In they earned the prize in the mid-90s for their release their work, frontman the singer stated that the band would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite divided her award among several charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the youth organization that supported their act, alongside other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients they contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Winning was ample," stated singer Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had saved several grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
