The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which works to protect the Britain's small live music spots.
Fender was awarded the award on 16 October as his new release his work was named the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
He also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces received funding support in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.

And the 1994 recipients the group gave their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected several small stages in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in the city were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by a national body and supporters who buy "stakes" in the properties.
