The star has given the entirety of his £25k award prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the prize on 16 October as his latest record his work was named the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
The money supported locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from concerts in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his honor funds to worthy causes.
In the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would contribute their cash to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, artist she shared her prize between a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," the artist shared with the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the youth organization that developed their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year M People donated their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had rescued several small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the venues.
