The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his third album his work was declared the best record of the previous year.
He has decided to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots had in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from shows in big venues supports the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award funds to worthy causes.
When they received the award in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would donate their prize money to the charity the charity.
During 2002, musician she divided her prize across a few charities, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the community center that developed their band, alongside other local music groups.
And winners that year they contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued several grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in the city and the second in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
