The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which works to protect the Britain's small live music spots.
He was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role small stages played in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the performances I did around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted locations that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted funding support in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from shows in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to donate his award funds to charitable organizations.
In Pulp earned the trophy in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the charity the charity.
In 2002, artist she shared her award among a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," she explained to the media.
Previously, they contributed their prize money to the community center that nurtured their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year they donated their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in that area and the second in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the venues.
