The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's small live music spots.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his new release the album was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also took part, collecting over £100k on his live tour to support numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with possible closure due to issues stemming from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and audiences.
"The concept that funds from concerts in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when Pulp earned the prize in 1996 for their release the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would donate their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, artist she split her prize between several charities, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," she told the media.
Two years ago, they gave their winnings to the community center that supported their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients the group contributed their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory affected the lives of others."
Recently, the trust shared it had protected several grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "stakes" in the venues.
