The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25,000 honor cash to the MVT, which works to protect the UK's small concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on mid-October as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots played in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 small stages across Britain.
The donation supported spaces that were confronting possible closure due to issues caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
He is among several artists to give his award prize money to worthy causes.
In Pulp earned the prize in the mid-90s for their release the album, vocalist the singer declared that the group would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
That year, artist she split her bounty across a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
In recent years, they donated their prize money to the community center that supported their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients they gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," said singer Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT shared it had saved two grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in the city were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the properties.
