The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 award winnings to the MVT, which functions to preserve the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his latest record the album was declared the best record of the past year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function small stages played in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The idea that revenue from shows in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
Fender is not the first artist to give his award prize money to good deeds.
In the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their record the album, vocalist the singer stated that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize between several good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
Previously, they contributed their prize money to the local youth club that developed their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the condition.
"The victory was ample," stated singer Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had protected two local spots in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in that location were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by the arts council and music fans who buy "shares" in the venues.
