The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k award cash to the MVT, which functions to preserve the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the best record of the past year.
He has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were facing potential shutdown due to issues caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from performances in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
He is among several artists to give his honor funds to good deeds.
Back when Pulp received the trophy in 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award across several organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the youth organization that supported their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And winners that year M People contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"The victory was ample," said artist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had rescued several local spots in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the buildings.
