Sam Fender has given the entirety of his £25,000 award cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on 16 October as his third album the album was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages played in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I played around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
The money helped spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted funding support in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and fans.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in major spaces backs the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
When they won the award in the mid-90s for their record the album, frontman the singer announced that the group would give their cash to the charity the charity.
That year, artist she divided her award across multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their prize money to the community center that nurtured their band, alongside other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had protected several local spots in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in that area and the second in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
