The star has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's independent music venues.
The star was given the award on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that revenue from shows in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to charitable organizations.
When Pulp received the trophy in 1996 for their release their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician she split her award across a few good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," she told a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients M People contributed their award to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked artist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The first in that area and The Croft in that location were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the venues.
