The star has given the entirety of his £25,000 honor cash to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the Britain's grassroots music venues.
He was given the cheque on October 16 as his new release his work was named the top album of the past year.
He has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to help 38 small stages across Britain.
The money assisted spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in improving amenities and gear that directly benefitted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from performances in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
In the band received the prize in the mid-90s for their record the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the act would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her award across several organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the local youth club that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," stated vocalist Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the trust shared it had saved several small stages in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the properties.
