The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the Britain's small live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on mid-October as his new release his work was declared the best record of the previous year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds assisted venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from floods, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from performances in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
He is among several artists to contribute his award funds to good deeds.
Back when the band won the award in the year 1996 for their album the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would contribute their winnings to the charity the charity.
That year, artist she divided her award among several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the community center that developed their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners they donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," stated vocalist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in that area and the other in the city were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
