The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's small music venues.
The star was awarded the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
He has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported locations that were confronting imminent closure due to issues stemming from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues received financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The notion that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.
In the band received the trophy in the year 1996 for their album their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award among multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a grand to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Two years ago, they donated their winnings to the local youth club that developed their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Also winners that year M People gave their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory affected another person's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had protected two local spots in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the other in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "stakes" in the properties.
