The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's small music venues.
He was presented with the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was named the best record of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots played in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the performances I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, raising over £100k on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in improving infrastructure and gear that helped musicians and fans.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in big venues supports the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to give his honor prize money to worthy causes.
When the band won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her prize among multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," the artist shared with outlets.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the youth organization that supported their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients the group contributed their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"The victory was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had saved several small stages in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in the city and the second in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
