The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was declared the best record of the past year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots played in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues received financial assistance in upgrading amenities and gear that helped artists and fans.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When they received the trophy in the year 1996 for their record the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, artist she shared her prize between multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
Previously, the band gave their winnings to the community center that supported their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners the group contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated artist Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT shared it had rescued several local spots in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in the city and the other in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
