The star has handed over the full amount of his £25k award prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which functions to save the UK's independent concert spaces.
The star was given the award on October 16 as his new release the album was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots had in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation supported venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations received monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The concept that funds from shows in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
Back when they earned the award in 1996 for their record their work, vocalist the singer announced that the act would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her award among several organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," she explained to a publication.
In recent years, they donated their winnings to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners M People contributed their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated artist Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our success impacted another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved two small stages in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
One venue in the city and The Croft in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by a national body and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
