The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor cash to the Music Venues Trust, which works to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
Fender was given the cheque on mid-October as his new release People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
He also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation assisted spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The idea that money from concerts in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to worthy causes.
In Pulp received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would donate their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her bounty between several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Two years ago, the band gave their winnings to the local youth club that supported their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients the group contributed their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," said artist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had rescued two local spots in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who buy "shares" in the properties.
