The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25,000 award winnings to the MVT, which functions to save the United Kingdom's small music venues.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
The donation helped spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges caused by flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues received monetary aid in improving facilities and gear that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from performances in big venues helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
He is among several artists to give his award funds to good deeds.
Back when the band received the trophy in the year 1996 for their release the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would contribute their cash to the charity War Child.
In 2002, musician the artist shared her prize among a few organizations, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," the artist shared with a publication.
In recent years, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients they gave their prize to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," stated artist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had rescued two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in the city and The Croft in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "shares" in the properties.
