The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to save the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his third album his work was named the top album of the past year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I played around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues received monetary aid in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The notion that revenue from performances in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his award prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when they earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman the singer declared that the group would contribute their cash to the organization the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her prize between several good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," the artist explained to a publication.
Two years ago, they contributed their winnings to the youth organization that supported their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked vocalist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning affected another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in Bristol were bought under the community ownership program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the venues.
