The star has donated the full amount of his £25,000 honor cash to the MVT, which works to preserve the United Kingdom's small live music spots.
He was presented with the award on 16 October as his third album the album was declared the best record of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 small stages across the UK.
The money helped spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in modernizing amenities and gear that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from concerts in big venues supports the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
He is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to worthy causes.
Back when the band received the trophy in the mid-90s for their album the album, frontman the singer declared that the group would give their cash to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her prize between several organizations, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," the artist explained to a publication.
In recent years, they contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
And winners that year they donated their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked vocalist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success touched another person's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had protected a couple of small stages in that region, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by a national body and supporters who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
