The artist has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the top album of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots had in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band received the award in the mid-90s for their album their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her bounty across multiple good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," she told outlets.
In recent years, they contributed their prize money to the community center that nurtured their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year they gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated artist the singer. "The money was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success affected another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected two small stages in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
