The artist has given the entirety of his £25k honor winnings to the MVT, which operates to protect the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on mid-October as his third album the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges caused by water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in upgrading infrastructure and gear that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from shows in big venues supports the local stages, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his award funds to good deeds.
Back when the band won the prize in the year 1996 for their album the album, vocalist Cocker declared that the act would contribute their cash to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite shared her prize between a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," the artist shared with the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the youth organization that supported their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners they donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," said artist Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had saved two grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
