The star has donated the full amount of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the United Kingdom's small live music spots.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his third album the album was named the best record of the previous year.
The musician has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function small stages played in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained funding support in upgrading facilities and gear that helped performers and fans.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas backs the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to worthy causes.
Back when they won the prize in the year 1996 for their release the album, frontman the singer declared that the act would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her award across a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," she shared with outlets.
Previously, they gave their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other local music groups.
And winners that year the group contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked singer Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had protected several local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in the city were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
