The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the Britain's small music venues.
He was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his third album People Watching was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported spaces that were facing imminent closure due to challenges stemming from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The idea that revenue from performances in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
When Pulp won the award in the mid-90s for their album their work, lead singer the singer announced that the act would contribute their cash to the charity the charity.
That year, musician the artist shared her bounty across several good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," she told outlets.
In recent years, they gave their winnings to the community center that supported their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients the group contributed their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was ample," said artist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our success impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had rescued a couple of small stages in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and supporters who buy "shares" in the properties.
