The star has given the full amount of his £25k award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which works to save the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his new release his work was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
He has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds helped spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The idea that money from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his award winnings to worthy causes.
When Pulp received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would contribute their prize money to the organization the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize across several good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their winnings to the local youth club that developed their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners they contributed their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"The victory was ample," remarked artist Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT announced it had saved two small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in that location were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is funded by a national body and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
