The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to preserve the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the best record of the past year.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots had in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds assisted locations that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted funding support in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from performances in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
He is far from the only musician to donate his honor funds to good deeds.
In the band won the award in the year 1996 for their release their work, vocalist the singer announced that the group would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist she split her award among multiple charities, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they contributed their prize to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued a couple of small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the second in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the venues.
