The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the MVT, which functions to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the shows I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
He also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 small stages across Britain.
The money assisted venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces received funding support in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award funds to worthy causes.
Back when the band won the prize in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, vocalist the singer announced that the band would give their prize money to the charity the charity.
In 2002, musician the artist split her award between a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," the artist shared with outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the local youth club that supported their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners the group contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the trust shared it had rescued two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in the city and the other in that location were bought under the community ownership program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the properties.
