The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was given the award on mid-October as his new release People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages played in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also participated, raising over £100k on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation helped spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to donate his honor winnings to good deeds.
Back when the band won the award in the mid-90s for their release their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer she divided her bounty between a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," she explained to the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was ample," remarked vocalist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had protected two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in that area and the other in that location were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by a national body and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
