The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor winnings to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's small live music spots.
The star was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
He has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his live tour to assist numerous local spots across the UK.
The donation supported locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges caused by flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his award funds to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp received the prize in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, lead singer the singer stated that the act would contribute their cash to the organization the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her prize between a few good causes, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told the media.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners M People contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said artist the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had saved several local spots in that region, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in the city were bought under the public acquisition program, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the buildings.
