Sam Fender has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's grassroots music venues.
He was presented with the award on mid-October as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the past year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported locations that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The idea that funds from shows in major spaces helps the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
When Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her prize across several organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," she told the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their band, alongside other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners the group donated their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," said singer the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by the arts council and music fans who acquire "shares" in the venues.
