The star has handed over the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the UK's independent concert spaces.
The star was presented with the prize on October 16 as his new release People Watching was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous small stages across Britain.
These funds supported spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
When Pulp received the award in the mid-90s for their release the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would give their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist split her bounty among several good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the community center that supported their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners the group gave their award to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated artist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT shared it had protected several local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in the city and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
