The star has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 award cash to the MVT, which works to save the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
The star was given the award on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in improving infrastructure and gear that helped performers and audiences.
"The notion that funds from shows in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
He is far from the only musician to donate his award funds to charitable organizations.
When the band earned the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite split her award between multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the local youth club that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated vocalist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved a couple of local spots in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in that location were acquired under the community ownership program, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
