The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which works to protect the UK's independent concert spaces.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the top album of the previous year.
He has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function small stages played in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating over £100k on his live tour to help 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The money supported spaces that were facing possible closure due to issues stemming from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his honor funds to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp won the prize in 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Cocker declared that the act would give their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician the artist divided her prize among several good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the local youth club that supported their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked artist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success touched another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in Southampton and the other in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who acquire "shares" in the properties.
