The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the award on 16 October as his latest record the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has opted to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
He also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges arising from water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in improving facilities and gear that helped artists and fans.
"The idea that money from performances in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his honor funds to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp won the prize in the mid-90s for their album the album, frontman the singer stated that the act would give their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, musician the artist divided her prize between multiple good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Previously, they contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their band, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners M People donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had protected two small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in the city and The Croft in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
