The artist has handed over the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which functions to save the UK's small concert spaces.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his third album the album was declared the top album of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped locations that were confronting possible closure due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving amenities and gear that helped artists and audiences.
"The idea that money from performances in big venues helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.
In the band earned the award in 1996 for their album the album, vocalist Cocker declared that the band would give their prize money to the charity the charity.
That year, rapper and singer she split her bounty among a few organizations, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.

In recent years, the band donated their prize money to the community center that supported their band, in addition to other local music groups.
And winners that year they contributed their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success touched another person's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had rescued two small stages in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership program, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the venues.
