The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k honor cash to the Music Venues Trust, which operates to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
He was given the award on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
He has decided to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted locations that were facing imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in improving facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The concept that money from shows in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.
In they received the trophy in 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman the singer stated that the group would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
In 2002, musician she shared her bounty among several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Two years ago, they gave their funds to the community center that supported their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients the group gave their award to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the condition.
"The victory was ample," said singer Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had rescued several small stages in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in the city and the other in the city were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by a national body and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
