The star has given the full amount of his £25k award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to preserve the Britain's grassroots music venues.
The star was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his third album the album was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues played in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the performances I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds supported spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges arising from floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces backs the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
In Pulp won the trophy in the mid-90s for their release the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her prize among several charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," she told outlets.
Two years ago, the band gave their prize money to the youth organization that supported their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group donated their award to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," said artist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued several small stages in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in that area and the other in the city were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the properties.
