The star has donated the full amount of his £25k award winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his third album the album was named the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots had in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds supported locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When they earned the trophy in 1996 for their record the album, vocalist Cocker declared that the group would contribute their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist shared her award between a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required updated gear," the artist explained to outlets.
In recent years, the band gave their prize money to the community center that nurtured their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year they contributed their award to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our success touched another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in Bristol were bought under the community ownership program, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "shares" in the buildings.
