The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's small music venues.
Fender was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album his work was named the best record of the previous year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
The money helped venues that were facing potential shutdown due to issues caused by flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted funding support in modernizing amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from shows in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his award funds to worthy causes.
When the band earned the award in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist the singer stated that the act would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
That year, rapper and singer the artist split her bounty across a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," she explained to outlets.
Previously, the band gave their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners the group donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was ample," stated singer the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were bought under the public acquisition program, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "stakes" in the venues.
