The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k honor prize money to the Music Venues Trust, which works to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
The star was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his third album the album was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
He has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role local spots had in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
The money supported venues that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges arising from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in big venues supports the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to give his award winnings to good deeds.
In Pulp received the prize in the year 1996 for their album their work, vocalist the singer announced that the group would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician the artist shared her award among multiple organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
In recent years, the band donated their winnings to the community center that nurtured their group, alongside other local music groups.
And 1994 winners they donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had saved two small stages in that region, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in the city and the second in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership program, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
