The star has handed over the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
He was given the cheque on mid-October as his third album the album was named the top album of the previous year.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also joined in, raising over £100k on his recent tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted funding support in improving facilities and gear that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when they earned the award in 1996 for their record the album, vocalist the singer stated that the group would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, artist the artist shared her prize between a few good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," the artist shared with the media.
In recent years, they contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success touched another person's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were purchased under the community ownership program, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
