The artist has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
The star was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his latest record his work was declared the best record of the past year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues received financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that funds from concerts in major spaces supports the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor funds to worthy causes.

Also 1994 winners they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had protected a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the second in the city were bought under the community ownership program, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the properties.
