The star has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I played around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous small stages across Britain.
The money supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and audiences.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues supports the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his award funds to worthy causes.
When Pulp received the prize in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would donate their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, artist she shared her award among multiple organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," the artist told outlets.
Previously, they contributed their prize money to the community center that nurtured their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners they gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was ample," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had saved several grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in that location were bought under the community ownership program, which is supported by a national body and music fans who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
