The star has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was awarded the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was named the best record of the previous year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 local spots across Britain.
The money supported venues that were facing possible closure due to challenges caused by flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that money from shows in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
When Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her prize between multiple charities, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," she explained to the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the community center that supported their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked vocalist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust announced it had saved two small stages in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who buy "shares" in the venues.
