The artist has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the UK's independent concert spaces.
The star was given the cheque on October 16 as his new release the album was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent 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 aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 small stages across Britain.
These funds helped venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in modernizing amenities and gear that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The notion that funds from concerts in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, frontman Cocker declared that the band would give their cash to the charity War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her prize among a few organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," the artist told a publication.
In recent years, they donated their funds to the community center that developed their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year they contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was ample," stated singer Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Recently, the trust revealed it had rescued two small stages in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the other in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
