The star has donated the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which works to save the UK's independent concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
He also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 small stages across the UK.
These funds helped locations that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges caused by water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in improving amenities and technical equipment that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that money from performances in big venues backs the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to donate his honor funds to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp won the trophy in the mid-90s for their release their work, vocalist the singer announced that the group would give their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her award across several good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," the artist shared with a publication.
Two years ago, the band contributed their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners M People contributed their prize to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the condition.
"The victory was ample," remarked singer Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected a couple of local spots in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in the city and the second in that location were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
