The star has donated the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
He has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
The money supported venues that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to donate his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When Pulp won the trophy in 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer the singer stated that the act would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award across several good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the community center that developed their act, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said singer Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT announced it had saved a couple of local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the second in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by a national body and supporters who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
