The artist has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to save the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the prize on 16 October as his latest record the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous small stages across Britain.
The money helped spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The concept that funds from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his honor winnings to good deeds.
When the band won the award in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
In 2002, artist the artist shared her award across multiple organizations, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to a publication.
Two years ago, the band contributed their winnings to the youth organization that developed their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"The victory was ample," stated singer Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success touched the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued a couple of small stages in the South East, by placing them under local control.
One venue in the city and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
