The artist has donated the entirety of his £25,000 honor cash to the Music Venues Trust, which works to preserve the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his third album the album was chosen as the best record of the past year.
He has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots had in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported locations that were facing possible closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his honor funds to good deeds.
When the band won the prize in 1996 for their album the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty across a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the community center that nurtured their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had protected two grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the community ownership program, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "shares" in the venues.
