Sam Fender has donated the entirety of his £25k honor cash to the MVT, which operates to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the prize on 16 October as his new release People Watching was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages played in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
The donation helped locations that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
Fender is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
When Pulp won the prize in the mid-90s for their release their work, lead singer the singer announced that the group would contribute their prize money to the organization the charity.
In 2002, artist she divided her prize across multiple charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
In recent years, they contributed their funds to the community center that developed their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year they gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," stated singer Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT shared it had saved two local spots in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and the other in the city were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by a national body and music fans who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
