The artist has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the UK's small concert spaces.
He was awarded the award on 16 October as his new release the album was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also joined in, generating over £100k on his live tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and fans.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas backs the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his award funds to worthy causes.
When they won the award in the year 1996 for their release their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would contribute their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite split her prize among several organizations, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the youth organization that supported their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And winners that year they contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Winning was ample," stated singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory touched another person's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the other in that location were bought under the community ownership program, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
