The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's grassroots music venues.
Fender was presented with the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was named the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages played in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also joined in, raising over £100k on his live tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
The money helped spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations obtained funding support in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from shows in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
When they earned the award in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, lead singer Cocker stated that the band would donate their cash to the charity War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer she shared her award between a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Previously, the band gave their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Winning was ample," remarked vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory touched another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had rescued several small stages in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "shares" in the properties.
