The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
Fender was awarded the award on mid-October as his latest record his work was named the best record of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 small stages across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were facing possible closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The idea that funds from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
When the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, lead singer the singer announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the charity the charity.
During 2002, artist the artist divided her award between multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the community center that nurtured their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners they gave their award to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in Southampton and the second in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the venues.
