The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's small live music spots.
He was awarded the prize on mid-October as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
He has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
He also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that revenue from shows in big venues backs the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his award prize money to good deeds.
When the band received the prize in 1996 for their release the album, frontman the singer stated that the act would give their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her prize among several charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," she shared with outlets.
Previously, they donated their prize money to the youth organization that supported their act, alongside other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners M People contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated vocalist Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory touched another person's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had rescued several local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
