The star has given the complete sum of his £25k award prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent music venues.
He was given the prize on 16 October as his third album People Watching was chosen as the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
The donation assisted locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges caused by water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The concept that funds from performances in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
When Pulp received the prize in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, lead singer the singer announced that the act would donate their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician the artist split her award among several good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Previously, the band contributed their winnings to the youth organization that developed their group, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners M People contributed their award to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated artist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued a couple of small stages in that region, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the buildings.
