The artist has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's independent live music spots.
Fender was awarded the award on October 16 as his new release his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds helped venues that were facing imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues received funding support in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The notion that funds from shows in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
The musician is among several artists to donate his award prize money to good deeds.
In they won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album their work, frontman Cocker declared that the act would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite shared her award across several charities, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their band, as well as other local music groups.
And winners that year M People contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked vocalist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved a couple of small stages in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
