The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, generating over £100k on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The money helped venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and gear that directly benefitted musicians and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from performances in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp won the award in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, lead singer Cocker announced that the band would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her bounty among multiple charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
In recent years, the band gave their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients the group donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Winning was ample," stated vocalist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and the second in the city were bought under the community ownership program, which is supported by a national body and music fans who acquire "shares" in the venues.
