The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which works to save the UK's small music venues.
Fender was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his third album the album was declared the top album of the previous year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues played in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have shut down – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist 38 local spots across Britain.
The money supported venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in improving facilities and technical equipment that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from concerts in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his honor funds to worthy causes.
In the band received the prize in 1996 for their release their work, frontman Cocker stated that the act would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer she divided her bounty across multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," the artist shared with the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients M People gave their prize to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the second in that location were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
