The artist has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor cash to the MVT, which works to protect the UK's small music venues.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the top album of the previous year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages played in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also participated, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to issues stemming from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in modernizing facilities and gear that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces helps the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his honor prize money to worthy causes.
When Pulp won the prize in the year 1996 for their album their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would give their cash to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her award across several good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the local youth club that supported their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," stated singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued several small stages in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
