The star has given the complete sum of his £25k award cash to the MVT, which works to save the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the top album of the previous year.
He has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous local spots across the UK.
The donation assisted spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The idea that money from concerts in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his award prize money to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp earned the prize in 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer the singer announced that the group would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist split her prize among a few charities, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, they donated their prize money to the local youth club that developed their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
And winners that year M People contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Winning was ample," stated vocalist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued several grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in the city and the second in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by a national body and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
