The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 award winnings to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the UK's independent music venues.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his new release the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
He has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages had in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported locations that were facing potential shutdown due to issues caused by floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues were granted funding support in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from performances in major spaces backs the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to give his honor prize money to good deeds.
When Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, lead singer the singer announced that the band would contribute their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, artist the artist divided her award among multiple charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Two years ago, they gave their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners they gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated artist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the trust announced it had protected several local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by a national body and music fans who purchase "shares" in the venues.
