The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 honor prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the UK's independent music venues.
The star was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support numerous local spots across the UK.
The donation supported locations that were facing imminent closure due to challenges caused by flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained funding support in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The notion that revenue from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his honor funds to charitable organizations.
In the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, lead singer the singer announced that the act would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
In 2002, musician she shared her prize among a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," she told a publication.
In recent years, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning touched another person's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had rescued several grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in the city and the second in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
