Sam Fender has donated the full amount of his £25k award prize money to the MVT, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was declared the best record of the past year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, generating over £100k on his live tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were confronting imminent closure due to issues stemming from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained funding support in upgrading facilities and gear that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from performances in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
He is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to worthy causes.
In they earned the award in 1996 for their album the album, vocalist the singer announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the charity the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her award across several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Two years ago, the band gave their prize money to the youth organization that developed their act, alongside other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients the group donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked singer Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the trust shared it had saved a couple of small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in that location were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "shares" in the properties.
